Another shot of the glider release. Braided steel cable soldered into a clevis on one end and soldered to a coupler to the rod.



I made a change in plan for the power plant, and with help from a friend (thanks Phil), I felt comfortable cutting off most of the cheeks and the hood.



Should provide lower vibration, and I have another plane the DLE55 with pitts will be perfect for.



Finally started covering. Transparent orange ultracoat with white trim. You can see the clear plastic tube for servo wires, and LEDs inside.


This shows the servo installation and 4-40 control rods with solder on clevis. I went with the control horns shown because they had enough reach to have the pivot point in line with the hinge line.
