I have to remember to order some servo horns tomorrow. Be needing those real soon.

You will forget to order the horns.... You will forget to order the horns....

You are getting .....You are getting

Ok Ok.....I'm desperate. Looks like I'm going to get on this build completion. So.......

Pictures NOT going to satisfy my HUNGER! I want VIDEO of the maiden flying around and dropping jelly beans! I would ask for a cheeseburger drop but after all I am practical .

Hey mike, what are you using as a fuel line stiffener inside the fuel tank?

Piece of a soda straw slid over the outside of the Viton. Works like a charm.

It's not covered if we don't see pics.

Agreed. My antique phone takes crappy pics and I didn't have my ipad handy. I'll try to remember to snap a pic before work this morning.

Edit: Here's the pic.

I lucked out Kelly! Got to digging around when I got to work this morning and found a stash of 1.5" arms.

I thought all I had in stock was 1" and 2".

Umm...Mike? You sure those are ailerons? They look nothing like any of my ailerons.

Slowly but surely bro. Over the weekend I started making up linkage for the tail feathers. Then realized I was out of carbon tube. I'll grab some from work today so I can finish that up. I also started on a carbon tray to mount the RX and battery. I'll post some pics as soon as I get something pic worthy.

Edit: Here's a little something to hold you over. Finished my pushrods for the tail. Carbon tube epoxied over 4-40 all-thread.
