Miscellaneous.

Got these treaded tires from Dino.



Making wire extensions.
I find about 3/32" of bare wire works best.



A 1/16" center punch is needed to 'drive home' the metal contacts.



Female and Male charts to make sure I don't install the wires incorrectly.



Since my normal USA source of connector kits are no longer made I had to go 'over seas' to find some. Just arrived today. Not bad; 2 weeks 2 days to arrive from China. Got enough until I croak!



I'm partial to long connections between the fuse and center wing.



One pastry cover to keep the wires from getting entangled with the servos.



Finally, on her feet. This is my favorite 'all time' airplane. Easy to fly, excellent ground handling, huge flaps, easy to see in the air with the gull wing.

















Still got to figure out how I'm going to mount these!



Just makes it in the detached shop!
Things to do: CG, Engine test, Range test. Already re-binded the receiver. And, put front gear doors on.
