Default RE: Nitromodels Tiger Moth Build along?

Snow was in the forcast, so got some time to play with the Moth. Mounted The YS 120 to the firewall, built up the fuel tank. Started to put the wings on with the struts. I change the Metric hardware to 4-40 1/2" long and locking nut. Using the Pacific Manual and figuring out how to adapt the Nitroplanes to that manual. First thing was look at was flying wires. Need to go to Wally Word to pick up some Lure swivels. Would have sworn I had some in the tackel box! But aint fished since I took up this hobby. I had some 2-56 thead solder ends and drilled a hole in them to fit the wire. Looks like the picture. With the YS up front the Balance seemed tail heavy.The plane dose have a long tail moment. I haven't put the servos or radio gear in the fuse yet. Looks like that stuff needs to go forward. (I dont think the servos will be going in the tail.) The tiller bar out the side is scale, so I'll make the wires for the rudder come off the side of the fuse to move the rudder back and forth. Than make a tiller bar for pull-pull elevators in the fuse and will see how that goes. I guess this gonna be a Pacific-Nitroplane! Things to get still on board glow driver. Header pipe for the YS.
