Well been working on my Super Ringmaster. Wing is on the fuselage, and looking at what my next assembly step will be. The control rod and bell crank assembled. Used a small piece of heat shrink and a drop of 3 in one oil. On the bell crank. It moves really smooth. Waiting on my engine drill mount to arrive. I also glued in my engine mounts. The nose area and nose engine block is tapered. To fit a two inch spinner. Coated the wood and Balsa with ammonia. Using clamps to adjust that out. The Fox 35 mount is going to be tight and mounting the blind nuts looks like an issue in that rail if I am going to can’t the engine two degrees right as the instructions I advise you to do. Kinda wonder if their design was test flown two large nuts came in the kit for right wing counter weights they equal one ounce. As I mentioned before I installed a weight box in the right wing W-10 rib. It weights 0.04 ounce. First flight is going to be interestingAJ.
