Default RE: Building a SPAD Trainer

Thanks. Progress has been a bit slow lately. It's hard to motivate a 9 year old to finish a project that she won't be able to use for 5 months.

We have mostly been gathering pieces, and we pretty much have everything now. I decided to try a Super Tigre 40. I have had good luck with my ST 45, and the ST 40 is only $49.99 and I had a $10 coupon code for Tower. I picked up a radio yesterday, JR Sport S400, same as in two of my other planes. I went with JR Sport because their servos are slightly narrower than Hitec and Futaba, and will fit into the 3/4" channel. I also have 3 other JR boxes to buddy with.

I have extended the fuse to 42". I am leaving the wing as-is for now. I'll bring a pair of scissors to the maiden flight, and I can trim a few inches off each wingtip if need be.

I'll post some pictures when it gets closer to finished. Thanks
