Default RE: Sig Smith Miniplane build

The instruments are 1/5 scale instruments which are supplied by several brands (same item, diffrent brands....) The ones I got came from R.E.M. but Robbe supplies the same (# 1-6156). The instrument on the right side is modified to a voltage gauge for the 2 receiver batteries.
The 2 red knobs on the left side are toggle switches which are cut to the right length for scale appearance. They operate the solid state receiver switches.
The throttle quadrant was scratch built after a part from the aircraft parts supplier Aircraft Spruce (http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalo...hbthrquads.php). Once I have the time to hook up the cable to the throttle servo it will move too.
Most of the decals I used are scaled down previews from the internet site stated above and other inernet sites.
