No photos today...All I accomplished was to get the MDS .90 mounted,(had to enlarge the motor mounts) and do the fuselage reinforcing chores.

I cut the hatch on top and applied basswood behind the firewall. The H-9 folks had already glued 2 smallish triangle stock pieces on either side but I went ahead and added top and bottom as well. I flowed 30 min. epoxy over the entire assembly but chose not to apply glass cloth. I also epoxied a 1/2" balsa triangle forward of the wing support bulkhead and also to it's reverse. I added another at the rear of the 1/4" landing gear plate. I will apply a piece of 6oz. glass cloth over this section once my mods have set up overnight.

I picked up a Sullivan pull-pull kit along with their hardened metal control horns. Once I got the 90 installed, I couldn't believe how much weight is going to be needed aft. 2 servos and linkages may not be enough...probably will add flying wires back there, too.

I saw an interesting post that showed the servos mounted inside the fuselage aft of the wing compartment but I'm opting for placement outboard all the way rear.

I'll be getting more done tomorrow and will shoot a few pics to post tomorrow evening. So far, this is a decent ARF and I'm looking forward to getting its certificate.
