I put the plane up on the pegs for a few weeks while I finish My 35cc Builds. As soon as I get finished with them I'll get back to this.

If you want something to do meanwhile look in here. http://giantscalenews.com/threads/dual-buildnew-pau-35cc-edge-and-35cc-extra.4295/page-3#post-93546

It's time for the Camel again. I started hinging the tail surfs this afternoon. My plans for pull pull on the elevators changed. I found a picture of the full scale and the angle and where the cables enter the fuse just makes things to complicated for a weekend flyer. I'll just use a push rod for the elevators and still going Pull Pull on the Ruder. The tail surfs are not glued on yet.

Looks great. Pretty sure I will need to have one of these at some point.

I have been working on the Camel. Just no pictures. I had to remount the lower wing. When I was trying to set the horizontal stab I noticed something didn't look right. Remember this. If your eye is telling you something is wrong. There probably is something wrong. Went through all the setups and found the lower wing wasn't Square to the fuse. I had to do some Shimming and plugging holes. Also had to loosen the solder on the mounting tabs and reset them. Now they are within 1/8 of an inch Total from tip to tip and perfectly level to the table.

Yeah I know. My OCD kicked in.
