Hey Gang, two posts tonight as I have not figured out how to post more than four photos at a time. First we have the radio box. This is a neat setup. Servos, recvr, and batt are all contained in it. The instructions say to glue it together, install the componants and glue it into the floor of the plane. OK. So what if you need to change out a componant or the whole radio? As you see in the photos I modified it a little.
I glued in 1/4 sq spruce sticks to each side plate flush with the line below the tabs. Installed the top dry and drilled 2 pilot holes for #6 screws thru the top into the sticks. Install the screws and then glue the end plate on. You want the spruce to fit flush against the bottom of the top plate. Then you add 2 balsa blocks between the sides per the instructions. When you glue it into the plane you still have access to your radio gear. Just remove the screws and lift the top off.
