Skymaster F-86 Build
I just started to build a Skymaster F-86 for a friend so I decided to post some pictures of my progress through the build. The plane will be powered by a P-60 and guided by a JR10X with a Spectrum module and receiver. Here are some picture just as it came out of the box.

Very nice Wayne, the F-86 is awesome. We will be doing the maiden of an F-86 sometime next week with a Super Bee. I will try to get a video and post it here.

Hi Alan, I had all the plans to go but personal problems did not allow me to attend. Hopefully next year I will be there with you guys...
The F-86 belongs to a customer and I will be doing the maiden for him. This F-86 is really awesome, the scale detail is great...

Here is the elevator bellcrank and bearings; I used a small piece of copper tubing to act as a spacer to align the bellcrank arm with the factory made slots. One slot needed to be widened slightly to match the other side so I could keep the bellcranks at the same height.

Elevator control horns installed carbon pushrods assembled and installed. Elevators servos installed, getting to rear of the servo mount to drill and install the screws required an angle drill with a shortened drill bit; real fun!!
