Thanks Rafa!

It is easy..., one just follows the pics!

Actually, I decided to give my hand and arm a rest - it tends to cramp up after long periods of sanding. And of course, I'd rather sand than carve and sand when things are marginal... just to make sure I don't slice off something I want!

With the above in mind and in order to vary the build a little bit, I decided to focus on the brains of the aircraft this evening. As mentioned previously, I've decided to install the radio on two plates. The rear plate will be for the four fuse servos (three wing servos) and the switch. This plate will not be screwed down but rather will slide on two rails (on either side) and will bottom out against F3. It will be prevented from sliding forward by a couple of screws on small retainer blocks on the front bottom. I've sorted out pushrod and servo arm clearance and laid out the servos accordingly (on paper). The servo tray cutouts will be made wider than needed in order to provide some lateral adjustment as required. All servos will be supported by grommets as the tray is in direct contact with the fuse.

The front tray is essentially to insulate the receiver, battery and voltage regulator from vibration and allows easier access to the gear. The tray will be grommet mounted (as a standard servo would) on hardwood standoffs. The components will then be velcro strapped to the tray with foam rubber underneath them. All wiring will pass underneath this tray providing for a tidy installation.

Photos show the layout plan, fuse overlay as well as the two trays cut and temporarily laid in the fuse.

Dinner time!

David.
