Default RE: SE5a 1/6 Scale

I finished the bottom covers today. I still need to make the false hinges, but they won't go on until final assembly. The front cover will be removable as will the one under the pilot's seat.
I made the rudder and tail skid adjustable by running the cables to servo wheels under the pilot's seat. The wheels are bolted to plywood with a rubber washer in between. I set the tension so that I can adjust them from outside without removing anything.
Also, I made the drain cock for the radiator. The handle is removable, making it functional. It will be used to drain the oil from the catch tank for the crankcase breather.
At last, the fuselage is ready to paint. So I guess I'd better get offline and get busy.
