    I'm half blind, but I didn't see hard points for the control horns, nor pockets for the servos. @Spats ? :) It does have a very beefy rudder servo tray for the pull/pull rudder servos.

    Started on the pull/pull, it's not going all that fast. If you go push/pull like Spats you're also going to have to take some time to put in hard points and servo pockets... Spats probably has that down to a science, though. :) The whole rudder servo setup could use some refinement, imo, for a...

    Didn't get much done today... Got the wheel pants mounted: Hey, do you guys think I need to cut an opening in the cowl with all these openings cut out behind it? I changed the stock tailwheel tire to a DUBRO 1-1/2": I attached the rudder and the tailwheel spring arm: Big...

    They're like 3/8" long #3 flat head screws, I think. I'll check when I get back in the garage. I dremel'd out a countersink for them in the teflon and put them under the wide solid part of the clamp.

    Good ol' DOD... I kinda like it here, though. Has a nice vibe. I like everyone, except for maybe @Naughty Monkey who has been suspiciously absent! :very_angry: haha

    So @stangflyer and @Terryscustom and @Spats say "nord locks" work great, huh? I remember seeing a video on them, and when the video was over they were the best, but I said to myself, "did they just try all the other fasteners at 20lbs torque and the nord locks at 30lbs torque?". I was going to...

    Yeah, I like it for the one failsafe switch for two batteries alone. And it's very light and, you know, kinda cute. haha

    Okay, I had four great fuel dots in stock to choose from. I had two DA fuel dots, one Pilot dot that came with the plane (nice!), and one Jersey Modeler dot that is very nice, as well. Yet and still I ordered a JEModel fuel dot from Aeroworks because they're my favorite now... because they're...

    Gathered everything up for a quick installation of the Hitec D950TW throttle servo. You know the drill, pilot hole for the screw, screw in the servo screw, remove the screw, drop of thins CA, let dry, screw down the servo. I thought I was so on the ball thinking ahead and buying a 1" H9...
