SteveM | Dumas Kit #1815,DeHavilland DH89 Dragon Rapide | Build | 08-Mar-11 13:56 | | Views : 1047 | Everything seems to fit together nicely. The directions say that the next step is to cover, but I need to figure out the rudder pull-pull lines first. The directions never address installing the pull-pull lines. Weight as shown here is 8.65 oz. |

Of course that wasn't till I gave up and ordered more wire from somewhere else only to have them both arrive in the mail today. Anyhow, all of the electroncs tested out fine. |
