Talk about good timing. I received an email from Redwing and they advised me they should be shipping my plane next week. Yep, that's good service. Then I get a call from DESERT AIRCRAFT (from Jeff), since I'm on the waiting list for a DA35...... he wants to know if I'm still interested in buying, Heck yes, I say. :banana: So that will ship tomorrow. Got the plane and the motor. DA with this plane should be a great COMBO :sunny:

Too rich for me but DA is pretty much always a great product. Good luck with what I hope is an amazing motor :)

FRIDAY 30 MAY 2014
I had some time today so, CA'd the inside of the fuse, wings and elevator alignment pins, sealed everything with a mixture of epoxy thinned with denatured alcohol. I ran a bead of canopy glue on the inside of the canopy. I hinged the ailerons and elevators. Also, glued the hinges into the rudder and ran a bead of epoxy around the inside of the cowl ring. As for the flush servo mounts in the wings, I mixed Milled Fiberglass with epoxy and laid a nice bead of it around the wood servo mount, just for my piece of mind. Also, I installed the axles on the carbon gear, installed the wheels, glued the blind nut onto the wheel pants and installed the wheel pants.

Oh, I finally read the instructions for my DA35. THe motor doesn't come with a mounting template. I'm going to have to make one and this will be my first attempt in making a template. Guys, anything special I need to be aware of when making a template??????

I hoping tomorrow I'll have time to bolt the landing gear to the fuse, install the tiller for the rudder and to glue the rudder to the fuse. Then install my servos (Hitec 7955s all around, with SWB servo arms) and Fortitude tank. If I can get this done tomorrow, all I will have left to do is install the motor, throttle servo and cut the cowl.

Yep, that's it. Theirs is electric and I have gas in mine


Where I live you could never build outdoors. Wait 5 minutes and watch it go from calm wind to plus 20 knots, just like someone flipped a switch.
