OK.. rudder servo installed and pull-pull cables installed. That MKS HBL 380 is a bad ass!! DIZAAAAM.
All other servos hooked up...

Basically all I can do now is attach the motor and wait for the rest of my stuff to come in the mail. Also need to order mufflers, but am a bit tight on funds.. ERRRRR.

And while we are "ERRRRRing" can I rant for a moment? (And this is not in reference to any particular brand of airplane, or covering.. but to ALL of them)......

We have telemetry... our radios can talk to each other. Our motors run right out of the box. ARF's fit together and are strong and fly great... we have 2.4 radios, lipos, GYROS... but WHY are we still using 1960's covering technology?!?! Can't someone do better? Chinakote, Monokote, ultrakote, it's all the same bubbling, non sticking, can't take the sun stuff. In 2015 are you telling me 3M or BASF or SOMEONE can't do better? Because I HATE ironing covering! I covered 3 40% airplanes in one year a few years ago and vowed to never mess with covering again...
ANYONE??? I'll offer a $1,000,000 prize for a new covering product!! (no clue where the money is coming from.. but I'll offer it!)

And yes I know I didn't put the little squares over the control horns, I hate them. If you glue in the horns properly I don't see a need for them...
Bah Humbug stupid square things!

Sleepy,

Build looks good.......Can't wait to see how you finish it out!

Thanks,
Rocco

I am with you there. It seems like there would be a better product available. I am wanting to do a kit build, but I am not looking forward to getting the thing covered. What little bit I've worked with the stuff, it never seems to go very good for me
