Arm Geometry for Air Brake. Initially setup with a JR Nylon Super Horn but was way too flexy. Switched to 15mm sea craft aluminum arm. https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rcu...dacc4abfa4.jpg Overall Shot. https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rcu...cd0071cb3a.jpg |

Best way I could come up with to mount the Elevator servos was to use the metal L brackets supplied. https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rcu...295d1a4b6a.jpg This required some access holes. This entire area is hidden by the fuselage when assembled so conceivably the access hatch could be 1" wider to make this easier. Although the manual talks about using an internal setup which we are not using. https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rcu...ebd872fb84.jpg Holes added for access. https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rcu...e760fe5d3e.jpg Servo arms and slots installed. https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rcu...5cd90f81e8.jpg Elevator setup complete. |

Pip mounted to bell mouth with Rivets. https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rcu...6ab46076c3.jpg Short rivets used so wood mount fits over. https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rcu...99ad0b88af.jpg Pipe assembly mounted to wood mount. https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rcu...efcf93ff52.jpg SWIWINI 140's mocked up https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rcu...9d0a050084.jpg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rcu...e2b27c4451.jpg Engine mounted. https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rcu...382d80a01f.jpg Front view https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rcu...dc89817158.jpg Back View https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rcu...142ea93485.jpg Overall view. This will all get removed now to paint the inside of the pod. |
What weight are the SW140’s? Did you weigh those turbine rails before installing?
I spent ages removing weight from the pods! |

I spent ages removing weight from the pods! The Swiwin 140's come in at 1395 Grams for just the engine. All 4 engine rails together come in at 206 grams (51.5g each) What engines have you run in the A10? |

Missed the question! JetCat P-130’s. Your rails are lighter than the original ones supplied in my kit, but I made composite rails where all four were around 120g Dave |
