Default RE: Another Mid Star 40

The battery need to sit behind the servos for balancing the motor, with OS 46 its tail heavy otherwise.

First picture i’m planning the battery location and the servo tray.
An antenna tube need to be inserted eventually

My wife is getting me a dremel for my birthday, I need it for plywood servo tray, so I’ll imagine it with futaba servo tray and then squeeze in a ply wood tray.

I’m getting nuts with details and glue
This time the support for the landing gear base is being glued, they need to be tight with everything around them no gaps.
I found a funny way to press the triangular spur against something in this tight space.
The drinking straws are for not to fill the holes with epoxy.
Later on I’ll place there a fiberglass tape from wall to wall to hold it to the fuse, I don’t know if its good to hold it so tight that the landing gear wont come off under any circumstances.
