I'm in painting mode but don't have stencils. So I started hooking up the tail servos and installed the bracing wires on the tail. Found 2 problems along the way. The Ruder warped and it's real flexible.I'll have to un cover it and check it out. Hope I don't have to make a new one. The other problem is with clearance for the muffler. THere isn't enough. I'll have to decide what to do with that after I fix the ruder.
I hooked up my Futaba receiver so I could start setting up the servos in the transmitter. That's when I realized that I still had to cut holes for the switches in the Cockpit. So I decided to work on it.

I finished up the Cockpit this morning. I printed of a picture from the net and covered it with box tape then glued it on with CA. The rubber hose that comes with the kit for the combing. I glued it on with weather sealant adhesive. I don't recommend this cause I made a mess. There will be touching up going on if I cant cover it with some leather like the real boys. I just don't know where to get the material from. Anyone have any IDEAs besides cutting up my leather gloves. 
The pilot is not glued in yet. It will be the last to get installed.
Now back to the Ruder.

Very nice job on the the dummy engine! Those Rotary engines always amazed me with the crank bolted the the firewall and the prop to the engine case and the whole thing spinning.
