More servo stuff...

I needed two cable extensions for the wing servos. As this is a ready to cover version, the wing comes pre-assembled, thus it's almost impossible to put a connector clip to avoid the connectors to split inside the wing. Have in mind that the hole through the wing are about 10mm dia. A simple workaround for this was to tie down both connectors with sewing thread.
The second challenge of this task was to get the servo cables through the wing. I've use the throttle steel cable, which is flexible, to pass a guide thread through. Done this, I've secured the servo extension cable with a knot and pulled it from the central wing hole. The first one comes relatively easily... the second was much harder, as the central hole was already partially closed.
OK, both servos mounted... also had to made four wood servo supports.
