Well I was hoping to show the jet done but my efforts have been frustrated with the mounting of the V-stabs. My original design placed the spindle location to far forward:
The problem was that it required too much torque for the servo to move. I cut out another V-stab to test out a better location for the spindle point.
I was also having problems for mounting brackets for the stabs. I was trying to go for quick and dirty and use depron and balsa without reinforcing it with brass tubing. So now I had to rip out the brackets and move them back on the fuselage:
I haven't had the chance to reinstall them but on the plus side I was able to install the ailerons and fan mount:
I was originally going to mount the ailerons with hinges but decided to speed things up and just use tape. The fan mount was made out of depron and glued to the fuse with gorilla glue. I will trim it down a touch before the first flight.
All for now!
