Nothing like over powering the beast eh? :-)

JK, I installed the engine mounts on mine to accommodate either an Irvine .53 or a YS .63. There is only 1mm difference in the case width of the two engines so I installed the beams for the Irvine.

I just installed the tubes for the elevator and rudder controls last night. I have to admit right up front, it's not as pretty as I would have liked, and I'm sure I added more weight than I needed to. The elevator push rod system I'm using will be Dubro Ny-Steel rods with a separate rod going to each elevator then joined into a single common rod at the servo under the canopy. This is a method I've used many times in the past and it works well for me. The only downside is that it's difficult to get extreme throws out of the elevator due to the rigidity of the rods. I bored a hole through the center of each of the bulkheads to run the tubes through. I also ran full length tubes for the pull-pull cables through this hole. Now that I've been away from the bench for a few hours, I've decided I'm going to open up the top half of the bulkheads much the same as the lower portion of these pieces. It will save just a little bit of weight, but will allow me to get away with just a short section of guide tubing for the pull-pull cables where they exit the fuse. I'll make the mods and take pictures of the setup tonight.

BTW, I'm now 15 1/2 hours into the project and have another 1 1/2 - 2 hours before it's ready to cover.
