Looks good Bunky... If my yak sells this one may be on my short list as well.. I flew the other Corvus and loved the way it did everything.. Knowing eg quality this one would be even better.



Btw congrats tony. We are now "30cc" gassers:banana-dancing-with

Glad we didn't graduate from slimers to 20cc,,,

I just wish I was a "60cc cool guy" like Bunky.

Gonna get cranked back up on this assembly. Gonna mate the turnbuckles to the elevator servos, run elevator extensions, mount the fuel tank and get the plumbing started, and start with the canister install.



Wish I had a TV in my shop. The Simpsons are on all day today on FXX. Its a shame that a 37 year old still watches the Simpsons!

Then this winter, when I get my other projects finished up, I'll continue this thread with my 108" Corvus assembly.

Back to "Pedro, the Pool Boy's" assembly. He supplied me with a [MENTION=160]WrongWayRc[/MENTION] fuel tank. Have temp located the Rx and SF for the 14ch Rx. Nothing fancy there.



Onto the throttle servo wiring, and waiting on cnc wooden motor mounts from [MENTION=200]Vital-Rc[/MENTION]. I think the gap will be almost just right. If it isnt, I can chuck it up in a mill at my new job, and take .100" off, of whatever I need to remove to make the gap perfect.

Quick little mod to the motor box to allow the throttle pushrod to attach to the carb arm.



While I have the airplane on its back, I ran some thin glue in all the corners. Debating on fiberglassing the underside corners of the motor box..... I mean, I already did the top side, so why not the underside??

I have the 70mm canister mounts sized up and fit to the airplane. The mounts felt a little flimsy in my hands, so I took some 6oz cloth and some thin super glue and stiffened them up some. I think some well placed 1/4" tri stock will beef it up and make it not so flimsy.
