Laying out the bits

Very slow progress

Spent an hour trying to figure how many, where and what to glue the strengtheners to

Some clarity

Three hours into the build

Figuring out where to install the carbon fibre rods

Rods in place

...and under the fus too

Starting to look like a plane

The motor and ESC

Rather than packing the motor mount with washers I cut angles into the foam and added my own bracing

Motor mount from the front

Servo cutout

Used Hysol to attach servo arm to the extended arm provided in the kit

Some kevlar thread and cyano to reinforce

Step 26 out of 47!

Getting there

Closed loop linkages took up two evenings of fiddling!

Prop attached

Closed loop to tail surfaces installed

All done

Weird things stuck on the wing to make it go (even) slower

Likewise on the rudder
