A little further update - we have a fuse top!

Now that I have the basics in place, I have to assess whether something is missing and/or where I need to make changes. Otherwise it is down to the fine tuning and dimensioning verification. That done, I can start to prepare a parts plan sheet followed by a laser cut file.

Not counting the hours pouring thoughts over it, I'm pleased with how quickly the plan actually came together. Having foam core surfaces definitely expedites things as there are no innards to lay out and draw.

I'll leave the rear mounted servo for the elevator in there for posterity (and the TOC plan which actually may require it if using 8s) but I can almost certainly see it mounted in the radio bay with a CF pushrod.

Rummaging through my mystery LHS I found an MK elevator control horns which is essentially a U-wire joiner with a bracket welded on for actuation in the center - simple. This will allow a single CF pushrod to be run down the center of the fuse to actuate the elevator without any exposed linkages. The only linkage visible in the rear will be the P-P wires for the rudder.

The aileron servos will go in 3/32" recessed balsa pockets in between lightening holes in the wing core. Ball links at the servo end, CF rod and clevises at the ailerons.

Any suggestions on what should be included or changed on the plan are welcome. All the annotation of course remains to be done.

David.
