Ken, when you cover the tri-stock with covering, and then glue it onto the fin/stabilizer won't the seams be too unsightly? There would be a seam all the way around the tri-stock. Would that be acceptable in neatness? I will more than happily use tri-stock and cover it with Coverite if someone can show me how to do it without leaving huge unsightly seams around the perimeter of the tri-stock. If it only leaves tiny seams hardly noticeable then by-all-means I will attempt it.

Jim, I do not know if flying wires are acceptable for trainers. And I would not know how to put them on.

Bruce, this one would work fine and it was the only one that was in can. Did they have red? I need Blue, Red & White. http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXB351&P=7

If I need to replace or remove the servo it would unscrew like normal and it slides right out - the opening for the servo wire is more than wide enough to slide in and out when needed. I did not like the way the plans had the wire snaking out through the top next to the servo - I felt the wire was too tight and crimped up underneath the servo tray to my satisfaction (I like to keep the wire loose), and I figured with the wire loose like that it was too close to the aileron control rods and might have gotten tangled during flight. And I could not get the tray to lay flat on both sides of the wing sheeting the way they had it.


I am looking forward to seeing how Ken does it. Are you doing it the way they show or are you doing it different? I don't see how that piece can be kept flat on both sides of the wing sheeting without leaving huge gaps.
