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

Challenges continued..

We got our servos installed and then I foolishly laid the control rods out parallel to each other. We could have gotten a better path to the control horns by crossing them in the fuse.

I installed the control rods and had the exit points built before I put in the control horns. Had one end up not lined up and had to rip out the exit point on one side so that it could be moved forward. OOOOPS!

Got the covering installed on the fuselage and then realized that we had worked forward to aft on the fuse instead of aft to forward. Doh!

Had a wonderful time fighting bubble build up on the panel surfaces that we covered. Got a woodpecker and after using that, things went much better.[8D]

Ran out of covering material and went down to the local shop to get more. Word of advice... Buy More Than You Need! We got the same color for the second roll (Insignia Blue) but it didn't match! Must have been a different lot. That's a sore point for me![:@]
