Having cut the grass, aerated front and back lawns and applied the grass fertiliser it meant I could spend some time on the Curare.

First job was to carefully cut the covering under the wing bolt strengthner plate position and glue the plate in place.

The system of linking the flaps was a first for me, so pleased to have accomplished this job, setting up still to do.

Good news continued when it came to installing the Extreme Flight 4016T motor. To get the propeller drive plate on the end the motor to stand clear of the front of the cowl needed just 2 washers behind each bolt securing the motor to the motor box. Excellent fit.
Wonder what tomorrow will bring.

Looking good Simon. Re- your flap control rods. Slightly bend the rods so that the clevises are not kinked over as in your photo. They will pull out otherwise. Also slide some silicon tube over them too to lock them on.

I see you have the motor on now. Might be an idea to get a spinner with cooling slots on it. www.probuild-uk.co.uk/index.php?route=pr...&path=1485_1292_1625
I could not get one at the time of my build so I sliced the top of the cone off a bit to allow air directly through the motor.

What are you going to start building on Wednesday? :lol:

I'm still planning tackling the tail assembly! Might have to delay a new start on Thursday!
On the cooling front, the instructions as far as I can see say to make a hole in the bottom of the cowl? Is that how you read it Phil?
