This day the rudder control was fabricated and installed. It is linked by cable to another rudder control that will be under the pilot seat. This control beam extends outside the fuselage and connects with two double cables to the rudder. Ogre has all the control cables, for his tail surfaces visible and externally located. I believe they are all double cables as is most of the flight rigging. It is my goal to make all the control cables functional. Hopefully, when the kids play with the control surfaces located in the feathers, the corresponding actuators will move in the cockpit. Rudder cables were doable, with patience and some luck, the control stick connection will fall into place. This night I ponder the design. Gumby’s input is vital to the design success

rayl, Thank you. This engine took quite a lot of work..I have forgotten just how much. I love bipes. Once thought the wing assembly would be a problem but it seems each one that I construct, has a solution to wing mounting and alignment. The part of biplane fabrication that I find boring is constructing the wings. I hate constructing wings! Usually I fabricate them as a final act.
