Default RE: Rebuilding a 30 year old Dumas DV 40!

Here is the radio box. It looks like a lot of wire because I am re-using a very, very long "Y" cable from a plane. When I get a shorter one, it will clean things up a lot.

As you can see I had a lot of those 'standard' servos to use up, so I linked two of them together for steering.

I'm still deciding on a good way to mount the switch. The 'access plug' for the finger hole in the radio box cover sticks down about one inch, so I can't mount the switch too high, otherwise the plug will hit it.

The steering control rod is at an angle because it needed to avoid the mounting screws for the strut. The "ideal" route for the control rod would have been right through the mounting hole.
