Default RE: MY KADET LT-40 BUILD

Didn’t do a heck of a lot today – today was my lazy day . Here is my small amount of progress:

Modified the aileron servo tray. Didn’t like the flat ply piece they supplied that was to be pressed flat on either side of the wing servo hole cut into the sheeting. With the dihedral angle it would have been hard to press it flat on both sides – and then all that glue that would be necessary to fill in the gaps left.

I modified the supplied ply servo tray with a second layer of ply where the screws mount into and balsa at the outer front and back edges. On the long edges of the tray I glued a piece of 1/8” tri-stock balsa cut from the thin edge of a scrap aileron so that the tray would blend in with the wing angle caused by the dihedral and lay flat against the servo opening cut out in the wing sheeting. Then I cut a small gap on the left side of the servo tray for the servo wire to exit.

Photos 1 & 2: FB-F (fuselage bottom front) glued into place with medium CA. Then reglued with Titebond II.
