Default RE: Vectorflight Edge 540 build

Yet another update, but no pics to accompany. My parents borrowed my digital camera today. I will have more pics up tomorrow, hopefully of the finished plane.

I was able to finish all the checkerboarding today. It really stands out against the rest of the plane. I checkerboarded the wings/aileron and the h-stab/elevators. I probably would have been done with the build by now if I hadn't decided to do the checkerboard. But I have to say it was well worth the effort. It makes an already gorgeous aircraft even better. I cannot wait to post some pics of the end results.

I also finished hinging the ailerons to the wings and installed the servos and contorl horns/rods.

The plane is nearing completion. I would say that I am now 90% complete. All that is really left is to cut out and install the canopy and cowl and install the belly pan and tail fairing.

Look this thread up tomorrow and hopefully I will have the plane completed.

Thanks again.
