Right, yesterday was spent mostly at the airfield and at my mother-in-law. Good news though, I successfully maidened my Somethin' extra! Flew beautifully though I was so damn nervous doing it that I didn't get to trim it at all the first flight. Landed three times, working just fine.
Oh well, onto the build. Since I decided to postpone the center tank for reasons of plan confusion I went ahead with the bottom wing today, specifically the left bottom wing. I also decided to be a bit less sloppy with the prefitting which has resulted in the best looking wing panel of them all so far. The ailerons I thought would be best built attached to the wing to ensure uniformity. Remaining on bottom left wing panel: Trailing edge sheeting, wing tips, leading edge shaping.
That and finding out how I'm supposed to mount a servo in there. I was thinking along the lines of having a hatch near rib 6 and cutting that rib up to recieve a servo mounted sideways, having the arm sticking out through a slot. That's pretty much what is found on the original as well. I have put this job on hold slightly since I don't have any spare servos to test fit into any hole I create for them. I'm going to place an order pretty soon on hobbycity to get some things I know I will need later on (like an engine...). If you have any servo recommendations for me, fire away
