Hi egor,

The first picture shows the bomb bay module built up ready to slide into place. In front on the table is the cover to put in place when the module is not installed. My plan right now is to delay any more effort on the bomb bay module until I am further along on the rest of the plane. I have installed the servos and bought an engine, a Saito .56 four stroke. this will overpower it enough that I might have to use the ailerons as brakes to get the plane down, something about CROW flight...?...I'll see, it's my excuse to learn four strokes.

On the bomb bay doors, I really want to have a single servo operate the doors from each end as in your diagram. This will require a crank that runs end to end. The servo turns the crank which operates the doors. I'll get on AutoCad and lay out the arm ratios to make this work.

The wing hold down blocks are getting in my way. The servo in the center rear is for the pull-pull rudder. One of the side servos will operate the elevator and this pushrod would benefit by not haveing these blocks in the way. I am considering cutting these out and doing it a more conventional way now that I know how.

The servo tray is moved aft a fair amount and I am wondering about my CG. The heavier engine will help compensate for this I hope.
