Default Stingray Construction

The servo mount is hard mounted. I used the #2 socket head sheet metal screws. The top screws can be accessed with a ball driver and the lower ones have to be removed with a modified allen wrench, actually the forward one can just be loosened and the aft one has to be removed. It is a tight fit and the screws are hard to get too but I think that it was worth it overall. I would suggest that you open up the bay a little more for easier access to the screws. Let me know if you want dimensions on where to start cutting. Also be sure to check how far the rib is inside the fin on BOTH fins before you start cutting because mine were at different measurements!, I got lucky though and everything worked out ok. I will finish the second fin today and then go for mounting them to the fuse. Formation flying would be really cool, I hope to make it to Whidbey this year, but I am pretty sure that with the current situation with Saddam Insane I am pretty sure that I will be deployed for yet another summer! This will be the third summer in four years that I have been gone, I always leave right before the first event and get back after the last one, I am usually gone about 100 days at a time, but if a war starts the 100 day thing flies out the window and we stay gone for as long as it takes!!!
