I've cleaned up the retract gear installation, secured the hoses and aileron servo leads. I already had the airlines set up with a T fitting to send one line up into the fuz, so I didn't have enogh line to plug both into the valve, so I ran one line from the valve to the T, and plugged the other valve outlet with a short chunk of line stuffed with a piece of pushrod scrap. the fill line is capped the same way with a qucik connect, the other end attached to my air pump. bend the line over twice, disconnect the pump and put on the cap, saves the weight of the heavy fill valve CJ supplies. I once heard on here somewhere, "mind the grams, and the ounces take care of themselves"

I also re-made my flap servo hatches, the odd sizes started to bug me really bad.
this shot also shows a little trick I can't remember where I learned. drill a hole in the top of your workbench the size of your wing dowel hole, set the wing dowel into it and you have a third hand to hold your wing, great for seting up retracts and wing controlls.

I've heard of running dual recievers to split the plane left and right for reliability, what about putting a reciever in the wing, then no fiddling with servo extensions, jsut bolt the wing on, 2 switches and go. this would add some reliability too, as the plane might be flyable with just aileron and flaps (some pitch controll) and is almost definaltely flyable with just rudder throttle and elevator. I'm not much of a pilot yet, what do you guys think about this setup?
