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. |

Underside of the top wing, showing the Dubro micro connector used for the aileron connection. |

| 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. |
| jgood, Image # 3660 | 22 Jul 07 09:48 |
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. |
| jgood, Image # 3658 | 22 Jul 07 09:44 |
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. |
| jgood, Image # 3657 | 22 Jul 07 09:42 |
Exit point for the aileron actuator cable. |
| jgood, Image # 3656 | 22 Jul 07 09:42 |
Notching the bottoms of the ribs for the new cross stringer for the aileron opening. |
| jgood, Image # 3655 | 21 Jul 07 16:18 |
Time to finish up the ailerons and cover and install the top wing. |
| jgood, Image # 3654 | 21 Jul 07 16:17 |
New aileron setup - wing cutouts and actuation cable now installed. |
