Scale 20cc Edge 540 Profile “The Glitter”

Looks good. All I ever do for hinges is add extra hard point where each hinge will be located.

What I will do is trim the wood back were there is no hinges.

Sorry but workshop is being closed down for a while and cleaned up and changed over to a bedroom for the kids and grandchildren.

Uh oh....

Just looking at the fuselage and the approximate location for the elevator and rudder servo thinking of a way on how to run the wires forward. Running the wires in the carbon tube would be nice but drilling a hole in the the tube is not going to happen that will just ruin the strength of the tube at that critical location.

On the smaller profile Chris built for me, I just hot glued the servo wire to the outside of the carbon tube. Works great.

That’s a good idea. Thanks. Do you cover the tube with Ultracote or do cover up to tube. And leave the tube as is

I just drilled a hole in my mojo 40's tube. If it's strength you're worried about, take the connectors off the servo pins, and solder your extensions, pull it all through a small hole that just fits the servo wires.
I'd cover the fuse, then add the tube personally. Add micro balloons to the epoxy when filling up the gaps.

@AKNick do not follow your last statement. Cover the fuselage and then add the tube, what tube. What gaps are being filled with the micro ballon epoxy, is it around the tube? Are you adding a small tube for the wires?

Ok @BalsaDust you are going to be scratching your head but I am different. What I need from you is the precise angle between the top and bottom spar. What I like to do is make the shear webs exactly to the correct size and angle then I use them to set the ribs square and at the correct distance apart.
