Default RE: Bob Dively Nuthin' Honey bipe

Managed to get the inner cabanes aligned and soldered over the weekend. Had to redo them 3 x's, adjusting a little more each time until alignment appears to have been achieved.

I used Sig copper wire, rosin core solder, liquid flux and a propane torch. Normally, silver solder would have been used but I hadn't any on hand but I calculated that by using intense heat, the flow of solder yielded a secure bonding to the 1/8" music wire.

Once cooled, I slipped shrink tubing over the wires and dressed it all up.

I installed the tuned pipe mounting after routing out the Super Tiger's lugs to match the bolt pattern on the Mac's header pipe.

Unfortunately, I was careless and allowed aluminum dust into the exhaust port and into the carb so a thorough dis-assembly and flushing are required prior to firing it all up.

Servos installed, throttle linkage done and the ailerons are working nicely. Yep, just about ready for the 1st snowfall, LOL...

Stay tuned
