Default RE: Build Thread-Scratch built for 8s

Hit the first snag. The hole in the elevator servo mount was over sized. I had to build it up, and change the hole size on the cut file v0.2. Then when I went to mount it to the fuse side, the servo crashes into the diagonal brace in that bay. The solution was to replace the diagonal with a 1/8” balsa plate with a cutout for the back of the servo.

In the original design the sides were made from balsa sheets spliced together. There was provision in those fuse sides for the elevator servo to stick through to just short of the Monokote. That got missed in the redesign.
