Well maybe someday I'll finally get finished. When I created the tail gear I cheated on the lever in the front where the springs attach and made it at a 90 degree angle but on the real plane the rod from the rudder goes through the fuselage and comes out at the same angle as the rudder so that lever is angled and quite a ways up from where I had it. I always planned to go back and make it look like the real plane but never took the time but this morning I decided I couldn't release it that way so I went back and fixed it. Here's a picture so you can see what I'm talking about. So another detail to make it more accurate to the real plane.

This is a loooooooong build process!

Can someone make a CS where it is just the wood and electronics no paint?

I'm working on one right now but you might not like the color.. UltraCote Fluorescent Violet. Or that's the color it's starting out to be, that might change once I see it on the plane.

Here is the see through blue one you see above with nothing on it. It's pretty easy to change the color to whatever you want. If you don't know how to do that let me know what color you want. There is no color "clear" if that is what you are looking for.

I probably need to upload a new CS for you guys to use with the final mapping the older ones don't have the servos and something else I can't remember right now. So any color schemes you do will need to be redone with the final mapping.

 

[doug schluter]

ok no problem doing that when your done with the final

Okay here's something wild. And Doug you're right it did need the fuel tank in there for sure.

yeah needs the whole setup electronics as well with the CS

I guess for this plane that would be the receiver, battery, switch, and throttle servo.

I sent an email to Flying Circus last night and ask if they had any pictures of the throttle servo and radio installation. I got a reply this morning with some pictures so here's the throttle servo I added using one of the pictures. In another picture the receiver is shown strapped to the right side of the fuselage in front of the bulk head behind the throttle servo so I'll add the receiver there and put the battery strapped to the fuselage on left side at the same place. Then I'll add some wiring. This will definitely add some nice detail so thanks Doug for mentioning it because I do want a very light CS so you can see everything.

All the details are really making it look superb. Check your email btw.

Thanks I just checked my email and will get back with you on it.

I added the receiver and battery and started on the wiring.

Great details, excellent work Technoid.

 

[technoid]

A little bit more work on the radio installation. I mapped the receiver and battery and added the throttle servo wire. Now I need to get ready to take my wife to her Dr. Appointment in Dallas. (oh joy)

Looks great!, I hope all goes well today with your wife!
