Default Progress Report

I have the plane mostly finished. Will post some photos shortly.
Assembly of the fuse was pretty striaght forward. The horizontal and vertical fit perfectly. The metal hinges are pre-installed. The elevator is split with a metal bar connecting both halves together.
Only one control horn on elevator and the other side seems to flex a bit. Wing assembled ok except for retract servo mount.
Seems to be too high. The two connectors on top hit the wing sheeting and the retract wires also hit the underside of the wing.
Will most like have to redo the mount to lower the servo.
The 1.20 Saito is mounted inverted and 95% enclosed in the cowl.
Have on board glow for that ultra low idle
