RE: Ultrafly Cessna 182 ARF
Hi VF, got up at 5am this morning to work on the plane. Wife and baby are sleeping so it's the only time I can get uninterupted ( I know you know what I'm saying). Anyhow, got a bad sinus cold and did not get to work on the plane this week so I am not ready to fly it this weekend but got a couple pics for ya. First I figured it would be hard to get at and work on the servo's so I opened the area a bit and because I am one not to ever want to permantley mount things ( so the can be repaired easily) I placed 2 thin plastic strips so that I could screw the servo's down instead of gluing them. Plus it gives the servo's a nice clean edge to rest againist. I do know of the shrink wrap and glue trick but thought this would work better.The Styrene Sheet plastic is made by "Evergreen" and is 5x12" by .040 " thick and I have used it for other models as well.Also I drilled some airflow holes in the firewall to help reduce drag. Because with the holes in the front of the cowl cut out there is no where for the air to go ? So this will also help with keeping the motor,ESC and battery cooler as well. The last pic is just a fuse shot of how it looks right now. Hope to hear from you and see how your coming along. Later
