Default RE: Sig Somethin' Extra Build

Corrected my servo orientation and then assembled/installed the tail feather control rods.







The carbon fiber push rods do not flex like the plastic pushrod material that came with the kit so I installed pieces of cable instead of 2-56 metal rod between the cleavis and the carbon fiber rod to allow for flex so the rod would not bind in the tube when being actuated.

Tank w/ plumbing and throttle cable in place for engine install.



Installing the tube was tricky as the fuel tank area does not have a removable cover. I inserted 1' pieces of copper wire into each line and then put a piece of shrink wrap over the end of the fuel line so it'd be tapered when threading the lines through the holes. Worked pretty well.
