Default RE: Kangaroo-NitroPlanes-Assembly

Finished, all the rigging, final routing of air and servo leads. Mounted a balsa brace to hold air tank in place, mount deans miniwhip in the canopy, cut trimmed & mounted canopy to the airframe. Removed covering from fin panels and fuselage for final epoxie glue assembly. BEFORE the final glue all systems were cheched and tested. Once wings fins & stab glued together fishing wires and airlines next to impossible.

Air fill port and switch/charge jack both installed with 1/32 plywood doubler. The balsa skin is very soft.

A block of balsa stock sanded to fit the inside of the canopy and epoxied in place.
Double sided foam tape (from a Hitec servo) holds the Deans Mini Whip in place.

Flyingwill commence in the spring!
