No worries mate! After reading the instructions I was a bit concerned about mounting the elevator servo which seemed to be the old cover the mounting plate in glue and shove it up the tailpipe method. Maybe we have become too accustomed to more sophisticated elevator linkages on the bigger Hawks but this did seem a retrograde step. However due to the excellent fit of the servo mount between the formers it was quite an easy job using Hysol and a little care. I have now completed the horizontal and vertical stabs and linkages and as soon as my Wren pipe arrives I can finish the rear end of the Hawk. Nosegear next and have not yet decided on forward or rearward retraction of noseleg as I have retracts that will suit both.
