That is one thing I never like buying they are so expensive now days, you stick them in the plane and never see them again. You know they are good but that’s about it it’s not like a new engine or plane.

Which is exactly why you buy good servos. So that you never have to see them again. Buy cheap ones and you'll soon get sick of seeing them every time you have to replace them or the gears.

Don’t get me wrong I do buy very good servos but still do not like it.

My good friend who's no longer with us would say "Expensive is cheap" how true.

Reading all this also brings back a memory from my grandfather I was really young when he said it to me never forgotten it, can not remember why he said at the time but quoted to me , “ I am to poor to buy cheap. “

Order 2' x 4" x 1/32" plywood from Aircraft Spruce, UPS delivered it yesterday. The interior and exterior get sheeted with 1/32" and I wanted the sheet to be one piece, started with a 18" x 21" piece for the interior. The exterior sheet also forms it the back windows. Have the door latch completed as well, 5/32" K&S brass tube and 1/8" brass rod.

If that don't stiffen it up nothing is going to. Nice Tony.

Like Acerc said that is going to stiffen the plane. Working with ply is not easy it is not easy to make it conform to a plane shape. Looking god.

Got the interior completed after a Friday Fun night, hope to get a few flights in tomorrow morning and help a friend get his new plane sorted out. Then get the exterior sheeting on. Boy do I have a lot of scrap 1/32" ply for the scrap drawer. I hope to take the fuselage to our club meeting on Monday night for "show and tell".
