Default RE: Byron P-47 build....

ok, here's the last couple of weeks worth of work.

I decided to sand the fuse while it was in 2 parts. It made handling 2 smaller pieces easier than 1 large fuse. I used 180 then used a scotch brite red pad, they work very well for scuffing up the area. I also decided to fill in the joint seam along the center line as I go.

For the rudder I made another set of servo railes higher up into the fuse. I centered the rudder servo for the pull/pull and I placed the elevator servo there also. I'm using a carbon rod running back to the elevator to save the tail weight. I have a brace in the middle of the fuse for the rod to run through so there isn't any flex. It should be strong enough, it's not like I'll be 3Ding this thing.

I then broke out the Hysol and started gluing. I always end up wasting some glue from the tube so I try and do a bunch of gluing all at the same time to minimize waste. Servo rails, elevator support and the fuse halves were glued together........I hope I didn't forget anything, too late now.
