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

The plans give no guidance on this exit so I borrowed ideas from the builds of others. SteveM Dumas Kit #1815,DeHavilland DH89 Dragon Rapide Build 11-Mar-11 19:40 Views : 997 Thread is temporary till I find something more suitable. Brass rod provieds a means to tighten and rough trim. SteveM Dumas Kit #1815,DeHavilland DH89 Dragon Rapide Build 08-Mar-11 13:56 Views : 1051 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. SteveM Dumas Kit #1815,DeHavilland DH89 Dragon Rapide Build 08-Mar-11 10:36 Views : 876 This being my second Dumas kit I was prepared for incorrect and incomplete instructions, but I wasn't ready for so many errors in the plans. SteveM Dumas Kit #1815,DeHavilland DH89 Dragon Rapide Build 08-Mar-11 10:34 Views : 862 Tailwheel assembly installed. SteveM Dumas Kit #1815,DeHavilland DH89 Dragon Rapide Build 06-Mar-11 17:32 Views : 966 Moving at the speed of PVA glue meant adding these stringers took quite a while. It is the first time I've added fuselage stringers that didn't rest in a notch so it was slow going marking all the positions then holding them in position till the glue set.

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. SteveM Dumas Kit #1815,DeHavilland DH89 Dragon Rapide Build 09-Feb-11 21:43 Views : 908 The directions say to stick the motor on with silicone caulk, but I drilled a small hole and used some left over servo mounting screws instead. SteveM Dumas Kit #1815,DeHavilland DH89 Dragon Rapide Build 09-Feb-11 21:42 Views : 939 Of course the directions tell you to route the wire through a non-existing hole so you have to cut your own. SteveM Dumas Kit #1815,DeHavilland DH89 Dragon Rapide Build 09-Feb-11 21:40 Views : 917 Somehow I managed to get this far in the build without thinking about having to extend the motor wires and making a "Y" cable for them. I also need to figure out which motor rotates which way. SteveM Dumas Kit #1815,DeHavilland DH89 Dragon Rapide Build 05-Feb-11 13:32 Views : 1001 The HS-55 servos fit well enough, but I had to do some cutting to allow th servo wires and Dubro E/Z connector to clear. The radio is essential to exercise the full range of motion. SteveM Dumas Kit #1815,DeHavilland DH89 Dragon Rapide Build 05-Feb-11 00:33 Views : 862 Routing of the elevator push rod and sleeve make it clear that the elevator servo does belong on the right hand side.
