Futaba S131s for the wings, Randy?

Been fighting a cold so all I got done last night was putting in dowels to keep the firewall from crushing when tightening down the bolts and painting the engine box.

LOL, Are those the little servos? BLS172

Naw, man!! They have a whopping 60 oz of torque! Perfect for that wing!

LOL a little bit over kill

I'm envisioning two of those ganged together for the throttle, LOL.

I have been dragged down by a cold so I’m moving along slow on top of that I decided to do a little custom covering. I don’t know why I get myself into this custom stuff. Probably could have finished the plane by now if I didn’t.

I installed 3/32” dowels next to the engine bolt holes to prevent the plywood from crushing resulting in a loose engine.

The engine box is painted and ready to install the ZDZ. I am keeping the top removable so that I can get to the carb and throttle servo. I am trying to decide whether or not to use a choke servo. Would love to hear some opinions on this from anyone with rear carb ZDZ experience.

I love the Tail Dragger RC plugs for multiple servos. It makes for a clean set up and easy to assemble at the field. I made the fuel tank using Tail Dragger tank hardware. The cap and fittings are great quality. Definately going to use them from now on.

I think I almost have enough elevator at 70 degrees.

I was going to start on the wings yesterday but I am saving them for last.

Thanks for looking, Spats

In my opinion, I like using a choke servo because of it's convince.

Looks great, the carbon layout is beautiful on wood.
Make sure the engine is well baffled.
