Pepsi Chipmunk Build

Progressed quite a way now with another wet windy day. Better stay in a get a bit more done.

Tank finally located and plumbed in. Ignition module fitted. Battery tray created from ply which also serves to secure back of tank. Receiver temporarily installed until I can connect everything up and rebind, setting fail safes. Opto Kill switch fitted. Throttle servo is a Hitec mini mg under battery tray on custom bracket. (as per Pennzoil)

Canopy (painted last week) now temporarily fitted pending detailing inside cockpit, although I have gave it a main instrument panel (scaled down photo of a DH Chipmunk MK22 and also need to locate a suitable 1/5th scale "idiot" to pilot the thing. Transfers placed on fuselage.

Nice work Phil Hopefully if the weather is good at the weekend I can get the wing back to you!!

Hopefully at the weekend Pete but not desperate (got to fit the new floor in the Wots Wot so she is flyable again)
