RE: Brent Good Custom Airframes 50cc Yak 54
I am jumping around a little on the next set of pictures. I have a few things to finish up so it is ready to cover.
The first pictures are for the switch holes in the side of the fuse. Push a wire through the holes that you drilled above the switch mounting plate. This is where the wire exits the fuse that hooks into the switch. Use a peice of 3/8 x 3/8 x 3/4 balsa for the wire to run through. Drill a small hole in the block. Slide a drill bit or a small allen wrench through the block and through the side of the fuse and mark where it will fit into the foam fuse side. Cut out the hole and remove the foam. With the block still on the wire glue it into place leaving some excess sticking out to sand flush with the fuse. After it is glued inplace and sanded smooth harden the hole with a little ca. A light peice of piano wire gets slid through the hole with a 90 degree bend on one end. The bent end goes through a small hole that you will drill in the switch. I use a bead or a peice of dowl over the end of the wire for a knob.
Glue on a scrap peice of 1/8" light ply to the bottom of the rudder and sand to shape. I then cut off the very tip of the rudder and add a peice of balsa and sand a radius.
