Default RE: 2nd Build-Sig Something Extra

I got the DX7. It has a lot more going on than my Laser 4. I paid $319 for the radio, receiver, 4 high torque servos and the switch. Pretty good for a LHS. I can't wait to fly with it.



I made some .032 aluminum doublers for the top and bottom of the pitch horns rather than mess with the glass. I'll put them on after I cover it and I think it will look pretty clean.



I'm going to cover the wing with the ailerons in place like a guy suggested in another thread. Think I'll be using ultracote. Servos fit.



I bought a Dubro tailwheel assembly because I heard the provided one likes to rip off the rudder. I considered making a rudder extension, but I'm not really that great a pilot that I'll need it. Right away at least... I think I'd like to sheet the turtle deck. Sullivan 10 oz tank. After reading about the kind of engines people are putting into the SE, I'm a little concerned the FA56 is going to be weak.
