Default RE: Not the outside, but the inside of a jet

Hello Tor and nicolas,

Thanks for the pictures you both posted.
In the DV8R there is no engine ducting, so the same making as an F-16 will not be possible. But i understand to keep it simple.
But i also want to look it clean, so most of the wires underneat the platforms.

@Tor,

The DV8R isn't my first jet. I had a Salamander 2 years back, but on the landing something went wrong, and the plane broke in 2.
The plane was killed, but i was lucky that the engine and all the other control stuff stayed undamaged.
The salamander was easy build up. Only one servo for elevator and 2 for ailerons. But the DV8R will have much more components, for radio installation.
I don't want to look for the money, but want to build a plane which looks good from the outside, but also from the inside. And of course no bad equipment in the plane.

At this moment i am waiting till the kits arrives, i already downloaded the building instructions from the PCM site, and read this 3 times.
But in the building instructions there is nothing said about the build in of the equipment, how you can start the best etc etc.
The DV8R will get spring air 401 retracts, whit robart struts and Intairco wheels/brakes. The control will be a futaba receiver and 8511 or 8411 servo's. The engine will be an AMT mercury. More components i don't have at the moment.

SO all to you guys, thanks for the pictures of how you build in everything.
When i start whit the DV8R i will post some pictures, if you like?

greetings Paul.

P.S. Can anybody tell me something about the question i asked, about the power-box? (in this thread, 3 posts back)
