Default RE: Giles build by Tom

This step completes the engine installation. I used servos on throttole and choke, had to make a new little lever for the DA-100 choke shaft as usual. I used JR DS821 servos because I had them left from my X9303 radio.

Since it's easier to install the landing gear without the cans in place this is a good time for that. I redrilled the holes with a 3/16" drill because they were a little small.

I installed the carbon-fiber tailwheel upgrade just for fun. I am planning to see how it handles as a castering tailwheel, not attached to the rudder. I did this on a 73" Edge and it worked quite well, if it works here that just simplifies the installation.
