OK guys here’s some more progress of cutting all the openings including for the guns note once you cut You need to hold in place And support with tape to keep the openings in line and also after that once you glue it with CA you need to go over it with glass to keep the strength of the fuselage check out some of the pictures

Nice Flight Tassos, looks very stable

More pictures of the engine hatch with a piano wire . I do not want to use clips to secure or lock the engine hatch.

OK here are some more pictures of the access panel by supporting the sides with a 1/8 inch plywood strips all the way from the front former to the rear one

where the fuel tanks are resting

Also for my rudder I will use my mechanism which I copied from BVM set up. It works without any slip and they installation looks a lot cleaner .

Hello Miltos ,
Nice to hear from you I have already installed all the doors and I will post more pictures over the weekend here’s one
Καλά Χριστούγεννα

Here are some more pictures of the progress I have stalled the cylinders for the doors and the tension springs for the front small doors, cut the rudder used balsa to build up the contur and glassed it too, almost ready to install the hinges I have also cut to fit for the wings servos

Happy new year to you too and now I am working on my canopy it should be done by the end of this week I will make it air operated. Thank Nick

OK now let’s move to the canopy first what I did was that I laid some glass from the inside around the corners and also right by where I’m gonna put the air cylinders control arm I laid it with carbon fiber

With that I decided to make it air operated with air cylinders and a hook to lock check out the pictures

I also made the front part of the canopy removable for easy access.
how I did the front pins, is that I drilled in place and then I tack it with CA before using epoxy.

The canopy is completed with the air system and the lock hooks.

For my exhaust: I’m using the custom servo operated unit, for it to fit in place you must drill and then slice with a Dremel diamond blade the back part of it’ll be just a little bit flexible or else it will not go in to place.
Check the pictures.

Another update that I just finished the strut wheel doors, which I needed to cut from a very thin plywood and build them myself They did not come in with the kit and also I installed The fuselage lights.
