Default RE: Multiplex Magister RTF

I finished today my new motor mount for the Hacker motor. I had to build it up from scratch, as I wasn't able to get one from any of the LHS nearby. I used aluminum we had at my workplace. It's a bit thinner than the original mount, but I think it will work better.

I also installed pinned hinges on the ailerons and finally did the extra servo setup for using flapper-ons. Now I'm only missing the elevator hinges, but will place them tomorrow night for sure. Ailerons were really easy. I installed 5 hinges on each one, and glued them with foam safe CA. I've done some pull tests and they seem to be glued correctly. The aileron movement improved significantly.

I still don't know if I'll be able to fly it this weekend because of family duty. It is a shame as this is a long weekend here in Mexico. I'll try to get at least time to fly it once on Saturday. If positive, then I'll let you know how the hinges worked.

On my last accidented weekend the plane that lost the wing was carrying my wireless camera. It got destroyed with the fall, but I've replaced that one too. I hope to be able to record an on-flight video the next time.

Regards.
