Here are some more pics of my progress. The inside canopy pic shows a beautiful gray stone paint instead of the basic black. On the far side you can see all the little blocks of balsa installed with a piece of antenna tubing in the middle. The tubing acts like a lock-nut and the little #2 wood screws will never back out. On the close side you can see all the holes for the #2 wood screws… too many holes… 55 in all. Next time I’ll space the holes 2” apart instead of every 1”.

Front landing gear pick shows the aluminum black anodized. The finish is 220 grit paper followed by fine grit scotch bright.

Next up is the SWB servo tray with self adjusting bellcrank. This is one nice piece of equipment and nicely engineered.

Next pic is a simple one showing the three JR Charge switches installed. I like putting the switches all on one side with the “ON” position being towards the front of the plane. KISS works well for me.

The last pic is of all three tubes. I polished the tubes in a lathe with CRC and fine scotch bright. Then the tubes were black anodized.
