Just as well to quote my last post:

ORIGINAL: badger5964

Wow just looked at last few posts of mine and my progress is really slow. Well here is the sum of my efforts for the last month.
A couple pictures. Over the last two weekends a mounted the elevator and rudder servos, Futaba 9206. On both, I soldered extra wire onto the existing lead to eliminate any possibility of a separated extension connection.

Covered the tail peices and installed CA hinges. Not enough meat to mount the Robart Hinge Points that I used and like very much on the ailerons.

Managed to make another birthday so the loving wife purchased a Perry carb for the ST 3250 as a gift, so I'll install the Perry pump, Perry carb and place the tank on the CG.

Made a stand way back scale dashboard. Cut 11/16" and 3/8" holes with a wood bore bit in 1/32" ply. Painted with a sharpie the inside wall of hole black and covered with pearl white ultracote. Then took one peice of clear plastic and glued to rear of ply. I used JTec scale instrument panel sheet and taped to plastic at appropriate location. The hole on the artificial horizon wallowed out a little.

Long ago I planned the tail wheel hardware and mount location. Now that it is installed I really do not know what I was thinking when planned that design. I can't think of a way to actuate the tailwheel with the rudder. Perhaps some springs from the tailwheel arms to a point on the bottom of the rudder. Any helpful tips on this would be appreciated.
