Default RE: Cermark Pitts Build/Assembly

Installed the rudder and elevator servos today, the picture shows the control linkage and the carbon fiber tailwheel assembly. The tailwheel assembly is the 15 lb variety from Troy Built models..the springs are from Ace hardware. Also made a bracket to support the fueling valve. I will cut a small hole in the cowl and reach through it to fuel the airplane..I soldered an extension on the fuel filler nozzle to make this work...

This model is small enough so that once assembled, I can transport it and store it without taking it apart, so the charge jacks had to be accessible from the outside...so I installed two pretty ugly switch/charge jack assemblies in the side, one for the radio and one for the onboard glow-driver.....just could not come up with a really good way of installing the switches and jacks short of making some sort of door or hatch..... well, this is a sport model after all...!
