Mike - Are the attachments in post #40 supposed to be photos? No workie on my end.

Ok fixed.... For some reason Tapatalk is working some times and not other times for image upload since downloading the new version which I hate!

Dual tank tray from Danhakl built! This will be for gas and smoke!

Hey Mike,
There should be some balsa wood triangles in the kit that you can glue against the sides of that wood tray for strength. You may have to file down a bit to get the wire side of the servo to slip in after gluing but that's pretty easy
Do you see those triangle blocks?

I decided to use the in-wing slots. Others have had failures of the removable trays...the screw holes are too close to the edge of the wood and the face of the tray is really not strong enough for the torque of 300+ oz/in servos.

Both good points and advice! Painting the motor box and firewall now! Tim what do you recommend? It's gonna be used and abused hard!!!

 

[3dmike]

Firewall and motor box painted up!

 

[3dmike]

Yep I found the cut blocks! Thanks Tim!

Forgot to add rudder and throttle servo installed! I will snap a pic tomorrow. Tired I'm going to bed!

I did the same thing for the same reasons.
