Default RE: modeltech twist

Getting very close to being done now.
I'm waiting on a new aileron servo to show up, I decided to upgrade them and only had one.
And I need to find a pilot before I attach the canopy, then I can install the Rx and batt. then balance.
Then the only other thing, is this wind. It hasn't quit blowing for over a week.

I did end up changing out the rods for the rudder pull-pull system to Sullivan wires. The rods bind too much for smooth operation, and I worked the rods up, down, and around trying to bend it just enough to make it smooth. But it just wasn't going to happen.
Part of the problem is the elevator servos in the rear of the fuse. As soon as I cut the covering from the servo holes I knew there was going to be a problem. The tubes for the rudder rods go right through where the servos mount. So when you install the servos, you have to bend the tubes just enough to made the rods bind in them.
