I'm still following your builds Tom even when I'm in Arizona where the sun is shining and the temperature is heading for the mid 80s. Build is looking good!

Stay there Were having Great weather here also. The temps been around 70 and little wind. Went flying Friday and Saturday.

Good try, I've been watching the weather for Indiana and looked crummy from here.

 

[Tseres]

It's raining now. If you come home today we'll blame it on you.

 

[heliperry]

Can't blame me just yet, I'll be back in Indiana on Wednesday.

I had a dilemma as to how to mount the gas tank. It has to be removable to get to the motor mount screws. . I had to move the Servos rearward but I don't think it will affect much since it is so close to the CG. I'll add led if I have to. Sometimes one don't have a choice.

Hooked up the Pull Pull cable. Most of this set up was left over from my "Wrecked Extra". I'm glad I saved it. I traded my Savox Servos to Art so he could use them in his Edge. I'm going to use these Hitecs in the fuse. I still have 2 Savox for the Wings.

That thing is looking sexy.

I picked the Glue out of the hinges and made up the pushrod and I modified the control horns that came with the kit and installed them.

Finished off the tank tray to fit the tank.I'm installing a 16 oz Tail Dragger Fuel tank. I don't like the lines that come inside these and other Clear tanks. I do like the tank. Nice fittings and Cap. The bottle itself is nice and Rigid. If you leave gas inside the tank the blue line will grow a lot. So I changed them out with Tygon. I also like a 2 line tank so I capped off the filler nipple. Now I need to call chad and see if he has a 1/8 metal fuel T.

This morning I finished the pushrods for the Elevator. This evening I started building the battery box and a place to mount the Ignition.

Just thought of something. I hope I put the ignition plate on the right side since the engine is a side carb. OH OH.

 

[Tseres]

I had to check the Engine fit or I wouldn't be able to sleep.
I guess since I have the engine in place I might as well set up the throttle linkage tomorrow. Yup. I got Lucky.

Throttle servo was easier to set up then I first thought. A little Grinding ,filling and backing up and there is a perfect place for a side carb throttle servo location.
