Default RE: Large Skymaster Hawk build

The main equipment trays have been replaced for my own design. I've done the installation in two layers. Under the main tray we have three air bottles the forward two for the brakes, tank release and air brake with the larger one behind for the gear. This is tee'd into a much larger tank housed under the intake ducting. At the back Ive installed all the sequencers and ECU, all the lighting wiring, air tubing and servos enter under the sequencer tray. The top tray houses the powerbox, rx and switch's etc... I had to lower the rx and PB to clear the cockpits. The fuel system components are mounted on a removable plate which gives easy access to the ECU and sequencers. Just four screws hold the plate down allowing good access to components underneath. I wanted to house all the switch's and filling stations under the cockpit as you have to remove this to get the turbine hatch off anyway.

I could have just mounted everything on the top tray but I think this would have looked cluttered and lacked symmetry. I think the extra effort was worth it...................

These are the pictures of it all during the installation, I'll take some completed photos of the trays later.
