So we still need to sheet the stabs. I put all the sheeting together today, Kevin set up the false ribs in the stabs, cut the servo lead run in the foam and put the servo boxes in. Pictures tomorrow and then into the vacuum bag.

So we had a busy weekend. We sheeted the stabs and cleaned them up. We still need to mark the stab control surfaces and cut them. Hopefully by the end of the week.

I did manage to cut the control surfaces out on 2 sets of wings and started to prep them. We glued the leading edges on ans trimmed them down with a razor plane. That beat the hell out of sanding them to shape

The MX is coming along. I have the ailerons cut out and ready for hinging. Stabs are sheeted, cut and ready for the hinge line to be glued on,
I managed to glue on the turtle deck and have the hatch in pretty good shape.

The fun part now is sanding (YUK) and shaping. Once I have the shaping done I will set the incidence on both wings and stabs. We will be installing the incidence adjusters on the wings. This will allow us to play with incidence from +1 degree to - 1 degree. We will start with zero.

I hope to get some pictures later and post them

Its been crazy around here with Kevin getting ready and going to the F3A pattern worlds with AJ and Jason. I managed to get some work done on the MX2, All the sheeting is done, All surfaces are cut and shapped, Turtle deck is on and hatch is set and done. I need to sheet the bottom of the fuse. I am now getting ready to set the incidence on the stabs then the wing. I also need to hing and bevel the vertical fin Hopefully tonight

Ok a couple pictures, Basically all that's left on the fuse is sheet the bottom front. Hope to have the wings set over the weekend. its not taken long to do its finding spare time. I need to have it ready next weekend so we can start covering ( actually sending this one out )
