Default RE: Double Taco

Sorry for the delay but I got caught up with one thing then another, parents night at the school meeting the teachers. The list jusrt seemed endless.
Anyway here's some more:-
These first two photos show the installation of the 4oz fuel tank. The hooks and eyes were given additional strength with a little drop of thin "cyno" added to the hole prior to the hook or "eye" being fixed.
On a test run the positioning was just right for the engine to run smoothly.

All four access hatches have permitted the "radio installation" to be secreted within the wing space.
A consideration for later development is the installation of a centre flap with space available for the servo also within the wing space.
So that's completion of the build and the installation of the radio. So far test runs have just been ground hugging exercises. Alright it failed to take off.
First was down to small wheels and the rudder joing bar, both have been adjusted.

The second attempt was that the one engine was to lean and forced an aborted take off but still managed to break a prop and I didn't have a spare. This weekend I'm hopefull but the weather could be doubtful.
