Nose Wheel Steering

The original tiller is a one arm product, which in most circumstances is going to be perfect, for me I like the security of a pull pull system so had a friend machine up a new double arm version so I could use the steering in a pull pull method, a simple swap and works really nice and smooth.



Fuselage

Started to work on the internal wiring for the fuselage sections, in the tail section I wired to the rudder post and fitted a connector so the servo lead from the rudder can connect up, this terminated at a 9 way Ashlok along with the two feeds back from the elevators. For the elevator connection I decided to hard fix another Ashlok onto the front engagement plate for the stab unit so that when the stab is connected no loose wires are inside the fuselage where then might contact hot surfaces, instead they will float around inside the stab unit away from harms way.

The rear fuselage section connection Ashok will be mounted onto the small flat plate I glued onto the mating face, this then connects to a flying lead exiting at the rear of the main fuselage.
