Gutting is complete. All internal servos, batteries, gyro, receiver, extensions, etc. Cleaned.

Being cautious with the paint, I took some warm distilled water and added just a drop of Dawn dish soap and sprayed the plane. Wiped it dry immediately with a micro fiber cloth. It cleaned up great. I’m going to go back, and spray some Ceramic coating spray. Can’t think of the name, but a fellow aviator uses it and it is AMAZING!

Being a full time student and full time employee, the only time I’m able to work on this thing is Friday/Saturday evenings. So until then, enjoy these few photos.



Throttle, mixture, nose steering and retract servo slots.

Looking a little empty!

Ingenious design. Speed brakes deploy, a string is pulled, toggle switch engaged and nose landing lights are activated.

Looking pretty empty below deck.

Fan and pipe removed.

Echoooooo!

I’m going to try and preserve the light mount and housing and replace them with LED’s. They look perfectly sized.
