Default RE: RE: MK Skystar - build started

Just a final sanding left plus hinging and I'm ready to cover. Plus I have to seal a strange gap in the wing saddle. Must've done something wrong along the way!

- Elevator rod is carbon supported by foam.
- MK bellcrank used. It was tricky getting it not to bind with the tapered rear fuse. (My first time using it)
- Note Ola Fremming-style bellypan fastener. No screwdriver needed. It was incredibly simple to make and it won't come loose. Instead of pins in the rear of the pan into the pipe tunnel I've made a variant with a triangular slot on the inside so it' can't move forwards or backwards.

Have you noticed how VERY similar this plane is to the MK Super VR-7? Apart from the fixed gear, I can't tell them apart...
