Scale Nelitz 1/3 scale Cub build

Engine fits I believe. Kept staring at the cowling and decided it actually might work. A few minutes cutting and it fits.

Throttle servo thoughts tonight and I run into this mystery box. Unopened from 3 years ago, turns out these were for a science project for my son. We used regular servos on that project and I forgot about these. 2 are continuous rotation and the other is a boat anchor.

I have this fairly weak servo, probably purchased for throttle anyway.

Well it's a good thing that you went for the two day priority mail!

The dang throttle arm is in a tough location. After multiple potential positions including hacking my tank shelf in several areas I think I have a throttle servo location. I tried here but couldn't find a servo location.

I shifted the tank mount back closer to center and went under the shelf with the pushrod and now I have a good servo location.

I often have to put a jog in the throttle rod to get around the tank. Your solution looks good.

Ah ha........ The problem is unless this plastic throttle connector comes off I need this rod to be straight. I can't put much of a jog in the rod or i won't be able to thread it into the plastic connector. Worse, I need to send the engine in for inspection and startup. Once i cover the servo area up access will be extremely limited. I may have to leave the plane open until the engine is returned.

The plastic connector:

Glue drying, paint drying, moving to another area. Filling in exposed wood in the cabin. Working my way inside out.........

I'll let the glue dry then trim.

Side panel work continues. Probably will redo the fiberglass layup piece, maybe.
