Default RE: Another Skymaster Viper

Chaps,

Another session in the shed today saw me complete a few more items.

I attacked the Rudder assembly and finished it off today. The supports for the hinges were glued yesterday. I checked that the supports were inline with each and no one mount was higher or lower than the rest. I placed a bit of straight balsa over the mounts so I could see if any needed adjusting. they were all pretty good relative to each other and one final dry fit to check for movement and binding before the aeropoxy was applied.

I took Duncans advice and removed the the under carriage which did help, it also highlighted one of the pipes for the "down" system was only just hanging on! So maybe its a good idea anyway to take these things out and just check to be on the safe side.John I went fishing today and I used the the chain method with great success and no heart ache, worked really well for me. But finding the way through the formers was interesting as the guys have stated. Thanks to Mark Schro. for his Cad Cam artwork it helped! I have pulled the string through ready for all the servo leads and lighting cables. I cut one of the wings for the light assembley to be installed,<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; white-space: pre-wrap; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px; ">the "white cotton wool" in the wing in the last photo is infact glue... It cant be said that skymaster skimp on the glue in their construction! </span>I'm going to vist my local B&amp;Q tomorrow and ask for their "model lighting department".

Hope you all had a good weekend building or flying and hopefully hear of your endeavors.
