Pretty much says it all. I cut the Dean's clone T connectors off my battery packs and soldered on some XR-60s. Also soldered the male half onto the ESC I'm planning to use for this bird (I'm going to have to change the one in my Miss Stik too, eventually).


Set up the dihedral table to the proper angle, mixed up some 20 minute epoxy and glopped some into one wing side, slipped the connector in and twisted it in to spread the epoxy. Then used the table to hold the wings at the proper angle while it cured. This will hold the tube in place and at the correct angle. making assembly of the wing halves at the field a lot easier.


Finally I trimmed the hatch, tack glued the canopy on and skinned the bottom of the fuselage with the 1/16 balsa sheet. I'm going to replace the drilled TE pieces at the wing root with something solid, which I will then have to glass (note to self: Get some finishing epoxy!). So since I'm going to need the wing to determine where the turtle deck will start I didn't skin it yet.
