Default RE: Midwest Sweet Stick Revival (a work in progress)

Radio install is done except for where to run the antenna.. (there's always something isn't' there?)

Yesterday I got the horns and push rods done for the rudder and elevator
I didn't use the CF rods like I'd planned.. Just a pack of blue gold-n-rods I had laying around.

Finished up the tail wheel and made it adjustable.
Instead of just making an L bend into the rudder I soldered a pin into a 1/16 wheel collar.
The pin goes into the rudder and the tail wheel rod goes up into the wheel collar.
The tail wheel bracket is now adjustable or removable through a small slot on the side of the rudder to access to wheel collar set screw.
I'll post a pic of the setup later today.

Drilled holes for the fuel lines, made a platform to raise the fuel tank slightly
Re-routed the throttle push rod to work with the side mounted engine.

I think it's time to strip it down and start covering this thing
