Default RE: Here's our trainer! (A work in progress)

Our latest work has been to install the servos and pushrods. We also put in a combination charging jack/power switch. The wing bolts on with 10-24 nylon bolts and they're not quickly removed or installed. They make the plane look really clean, though. No rubber bands to look at!

The servos and rods went in easily. Added a few braces to guard against flex in flight. We've got the engine hooked up to its servo, but we are waiting on the rudder and elevator.

I am thinking about covering the control surfaces before we install them. Maybe not. Still undecided. It's probably time to watch that Monokote video we bought!

The kit called for a wire for a tailskid. We put a tailwheel in instead.
