I think all is working again now. Please leave a comment on a photo somewhere if something you need is not working still.

The finished product! For the moment, at least. I intend to see if she flys before doing any detailing...

Top wing servo installation. This is left uncovered.

No, it would probably be obscene. I guess it's a cat thing, his Mother did it, too.

Thank you guys! Moostang, that was about 1/3 throttle to lift the tail off, I think. I think I have > 1:1 power to weight ratio, so I'm not worried about it being underpowered. Controllable, that's the thing I'm worrying about! David, very funny about patches. Is he on YouTube as well?!

That's a great video! My cat Patches lifts his ass just like that when power (scratching) is applied. What a joy to see! The plane.

Great video. How much throttle was it to lift it's butt? It's going to be a beautiful bird in the air.

That's fantastic!! I just gotta try one. I've only used glow engines in past. Noisey and messy. Those ailerons have plenty of throw. Should be a blur rolling and looping. Again, great job.

Thanks Poppy! Here's a video of my run-up tests today.

Great engineering!! Looks good on ground, can't wait to see in the air.

A runway by the ocean!

You can see the servo underneath the wing. The servo wire should somewhat blend in with the to-be-installed struts and support wires.

Top wing now covered that ailerons are installed.

And I now present - working ailerons! They are hinged with small bits of floppy disk material CA'd to the top of the wing and aileron.

Another reference shot of the aileron setup.

Top view of the aileron installation. This setup gave much better results than the previous, it's a much more direct action, more positive response.

Exit point for the aileron actuator cable.

Notching the bottoms of the ribs for the new cross stringer for the aileron opening.
jgood, Image # 365521 Jul 07 16:18

Time to finish up the ailerons and cover and install the top wing.
jgood, Image # 365421 Jul 07 16:17

New aileron setup - wing cutouts and actuation cable now installed.
