Default Thunder Tiger Trainer-pre building

I ended up buying some different push rod connectors. Also, its not real clear on where the fuel tank is supposed to sit. It won't fit correctly up front, so I placed mine right in front of the servo tray. After I fitted foam all around it, its nice and snug.
A word of advice the thunder Tiger 40 I had several years ago had metric hardware not standard. If you try to use a 2-56 clevis with a metric pushrod the clevis can and will come loose during flight.

Also the fuel tank should go behind the firewall not in front of the servo tray. Trim the bulkheads a little at a time untill it fits.


BTW I thought it was a get flying plane right up to the point that I flew it through a tree!!!
