Picture 1: Power system ready to install

Hacker A20 34S pushing APC 8x3.8 SF prop on a hyperion oring adapter
Hacker X7 ESC
Thunder Power 2S 480Mah LiPo
GWS Naro 6Ch rx
GWS Pico FBB aileron servo
Bluebird 303 tail servos
CF linkages

Picture 2: Measure and cut for your motor.

Picture 3: Cut and mount plywood motor mount.

Picture 4: Motor installed.

Picture 5: Aileron servo setup. simply cut a slit in the control, apply CA to the control horn and slide in. Make linkages with included music wire, EZ connectors, and EZ clevis. I had to change the linkage on the servo horn because the servo is set on the side of the fuse, in order to acheive equal throws on each surface.

Picture 6: Elevator servo setup. I used the included ply sheet and screwed the servo into them, very light, very tight, and very easy to remove servo

Picture 7: Rudder servo setup. I used servo tape for the rudder, and it is holding fine. You could also use the ply in this case, but I figure I'd try out the tape.

Picture 8: Tailfeathers and their control horns. I used dental floss wrapped around the cf linkage and a peice of z-bent music wire for the linkage.

Picture 9: Completed power system.

Picture 10: Added tri stock to reinforce fuse. I don't think it is necessary, but the plane is pretty light, so this little bit can't hurt it too bad.

Picture 11: Added carbon reinforcement to tail along the hinge. I took the included cf, cut to length, and taped in place, now the tail is very stiff with no control flex.
