Made a little bit of progress here and there..School and full scale flying have roped my attention for the past few weeks.

Also, I’ve been waiting on parts. I believe that after next week, all parts will be in.

In the meantime, here’s some photos..

Inspecting the Geometry of the 4-40 connector, trying to decide how Tom did it..And pulled it off. Massive credit to all the builders out there!

Second look at it.

I determined that I could take a soldering blade, turn my heat to a low setting and make an impression on the Dubro link. This would allow me to bend it to its proper angle. It took about 3 tries until I was able to get it right.

Gear Valve servo and nose steering servo mounted. The newer servos I bought were a tad too tall, so I took some thin ply and created a shim. Works like a charm. Gear valve still works A-Ok, so I decided to keep it.

Tail servo 1

Tail servo 2.

During the project, I had to decide on the brake valve and gear door valve servos.. Trying to be mindful of the CG, this seemed like an Ok place to pick.

It’s not a gold medal, but the geometry and servo are close. No binding whatsoever. I did have to do a little balancing, but honestly, it was more of my OCD wanting it to be perfect.

The beginning of the spaghetti. Since I’m going electric, I want to be as efficient as possible. Patiently waiting a set of full gear doors from Patty and the crew.

It’s TIGHT in there! This is the NON flap model.

Ahh, fresh spaghetti. All servos are installed and ready to connect to the receiver!

An older fan, but nonetheless still good! After seeing videos and articles with t33’s and 5012’s I determined I’d be safe.

Following the path that Tom originally had laid.
