Hi Guys

Managed a bit more on the L39, busy with other things atm but getting there.

It was obvious early on that this model was going to need some help to get the CG within limits. With this in mind I ordered two 3300NiMH, no point using Lipo's and regulators then adding lead, saves some money too. I wanted the battery's accessible so I made a ply plate that I could slide in and out of the nose. I extended the battery leads and added some EC3 connectors, while the soldering iron was out I finished making up the aileron and flap wiring. A bit of gray paint and it was glued in with hysol

The other little bits I've done are to set the radio up, install the four rx's, protected the wiring that enters the forward fuz with shrink sleeve to stop any possible chaffing more important on prop models but old habits and all that.....

The ends of the control surfaces were all painted as they were just left bare out the box which looks odd when you waggle the sticks. The air system was tested and proved reliable with the Airpower EV5-U multi function valve.

Cheers, Alex
