Default RE: Sig LT-40 Build

Wrapped the battery pack and receiver in foam and got them into place. Kind akward at first trying to get these into place but they go in nicely.



The hole in the firewall for the fuel tubes matches up well with the two bottom tubes on the tank, but the top one doesn't line up well when you have the tank against the back of the firewall so I altered the top brass tube so the fill hose is not bent sharply to exit the tank area...



Glued in the throttle tube and inserted the wire pushrod in place to help the tube keep it's form while the glue dries...



Mounted the engine - woohoo! Added a Hobbico exhaust deflector...



Put the fuel tank in place so I can glue in the rear tank brace (hooked up the fuel lines as well)...



Glued in the rear tank brace...



Added the windows earlier and installed the power switch



Total build time: 74 hours
