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

Image Comments novice builder 26-Apr-09 10:50 The framing is complete. . . .well ahead of my wonderful husband. The directions say to cover the plane first, then assemble the torque motor. They are vague about this and I'm not sure how to install it. How many loops do I make? Where do I tied the knot in the motor? Should I install the motor first, then cover it? Any help on this would be appreciated.

She is ready to cover her fuselage, and I think the motor should be lubed and in place beforehand, But I don't know John Cooper 26-Apr-09 15:51 The framing looks very nice and accurate. The rubber should be installed after the model is covered. I use a balsa stick to push the loops of rubber into the fuselage and my looking through the nose catch it with the peg. This can be tricky and some people like to leave the section under the rear peg, uncovered so that it is easy to see it attach to the peg. My guess, for this size of model, is 2 loops of 1/4 rubber, with a length that is 50% longer than the distance from the prop hook to the rear peg. The knot in the rubber should go behind the rear peg so as to reduce vibration. Also you should lubricate the rubber (after tying the knot) with a silicon car protectant, like Armor All. You can wind the rubber while it is stretched, with someone holding the rear peg for you. novice builder 26-Apr-09 17:51 John, Thanks for the instructions on installing the rubber motor and for warning me on how difficult this may be. I like the idea of not covering the bottom section in order to install this. After all, elevatoranj and I are in competition for flying our models against one another to see who stays in flight the longest.. . .of course if you saw his latest post, he's got a lot a much LARGER WING SPAN THAN I DO!
