Default RE: Skymaster L39 build

Servo installation should have been a matter just screwing the servos on the mounts............ The problem being is no mounts have been installed or provided! The suggested servos for the elevators are JR midi size. I didn't like the idea of this and really wanted to fit standard size high torque servos. This required loads of surgery to get the 8411's to fit, mainly removing excess glue and enlarging the hole slightly. A very sharp wood chisel dealt with the glue and BVM scuff pads did the rest. Hard wood mounts were fitted then it was just a matter of gluing the horns in with Hysol. Flaps and ailerons were simple enough with a little trimming but the rudder was a faff as again no mount was installed so I fabricated my own.

The servo you see in the stab is only my test fitting servo I'm going to use 8411's. Didn't want to get them dusty and scratched
