Default RE: Phoenix Giles 202

Almost finished. A few things left to do and then CG and maiden. I noticed after taking these pics this morning that the trim stripe in the middle of the wing doesn't line up. But that will be inside the fuse. Notice I cut the covering under the fuel tank so I could install the blind nuts easily and fit the tank and throttle rod. I also cut a patch back at the tail section underneath to ease pushrod assembly.
I'll iron the covering back before flight. LOL !!!
I test ran the motor last night checking the throttle servo, tank and pressure. The OS.46AX is well broke in and I used a 11x7APC.
I had been running a 13x4-W APC while flying it with a TT Extra300 FunTiger profile. Wicked vertical and with the low weight of that plane the larger prop had no ill effects . This plane weighs more as you know so the oversized prop is out of the question.
