If that comes off 1/2 good plywood I will be ordering a 3W 150 tomorrow. Nice job looks solid.

And a full one inch on the bottom two bolts, my added 1/2" mount and the original 1/2" firewall.

If you are nose heavy we all know a couple holes in 1 inch of plywood can fix that.

I have a feeling I won't have to drill any holes!!!

Slowly getting something done. The rudder was epoxied in first thing this morning. And then the wings and elevator control linkages were installed then those surfaces were mounted.

All that extra plywood is doing to jobs balance and holding the motor in place it is not always we luck out like that.
The plane is coming along nicely.

It was planned that way snoop.

All I have managed to do since earlier is get the rudder servos hooked up with the rudder, work's smooth as butter, but did not start out that way.

Never had the opportunity to set up 3 servos like that I understand how to do it but it is always a lot different when you actually have to do it. Do you do it with three amp meters and how long did it take.

No meter yet, this initial set up is done by adjusting the arms until there is no resistance to the 4-40 bolt turned by the finger. I use a servo actuator plugged in to all three, when set to center the first two (from the nose end) lined up perfectly according to the micrometer but the third one was offset by about 1-1/2°. So now with all three mechanically made exactly even (the links are equal from side to side) I will take them off as a unit, turn on the Rx, the first two should set right in place but the third one will have to be adjusted at center, then change the end point to match the center offset, and it should be good to go.

Tomorrow I hope to get the engine mounted, fuel tank in and plumbed, check the balance and start placing thing's accordingly. And when the new reed shows up, suppose to be tomorrow, I'll put it in.
