The next thing that needs to be done is get the radio set up. Get it all working right and program all the little extras that I like to use. When all that is done some later in the year check the fuel system and do the final setup of the engine. Once every thing is ok clean up the wiring.

Keep seeing @orthobird setting his plane up with a laser. Spent some time with my flying buddy the other day described the use of a laser. Let's just say I know him for many years and up today were is not a tool that I have mentioned that he does not have. He walks to other end of his shop pulls out four lasers. He looks at them, take these two see which one you like. The end result is the one is definitely better for what we do than the second one . Anyway using a laser on an ARF will scare the hell out of you. Anyway 8 hours later the plane is square, straight and level. And the plane looked good before with standard tape measurements. One setting up the plane deflections on the ailerons and elevators made life very easy. Love the machine and if possible he is never getting it back. (I wish). Love the laser will be finding out the cost and getting my self one it does make life easier.

Just cleaning up the workshop and found all the decals for the plane, forgot about them. Have to install some of the decals clean up the wiring and then assemble the plane and take a couple of pictures. And then hope for good weather.

So the use of the laser really made a difference compared to standard type techniques? Will be interesting to see how yours does flying and seeing how straight it flies. Please let us know.
