Here is some more progress on my Cub. I'm at the stage that progress is slow with what seems like twice as much time. Trying to plan out and execute the servo installation and control rods. I went with Sullivan 4-40 gold-n-rods. I added blocks where the rods will exit the fuselage. Added supports to reduce the flexing of the rods and built a removable servo tray for the elevator and rudder servos. Added a mount for the throttle servo on the right side of the fuse and then added the throttle cable. Finished off with building a tray to hole the RX and RX battery just in front of the servo tray. Hopefully I can get this finished in the next month or I may just have to put off finishing till next winter.
