Scratch Built Hannibal

Hi Colin, a few shots of the progress with the covering. I started with the fin, and got carried away. The covering is very easy to use, the only drawback I've found so far, it tends to curl up after a piece has been cut from the roll. The adhesive seems to be transparent, not a trace of "blue glue" on the iron as normally happens with S*******M.
Cowling finally cut and drilled out, needs to be roughed up a bit to hide the gouges I made when cutting the holes. I looked through my purchase records, the covering must've come from HobbyKing, the invoice says "HexTronic Hong Kong". Took just over three weeks to arrive.

In case anyone wonders what the reflection in the cowl is..............It is not a garden gnome propping open the shed door.

Brian - Did you intend ordering from Hong Kong or was that a surprise, if not a Gnome what is the diminutive figure holding open
the shed door. Covering looking good.
Thanks

It was a surprise Colin. I should've paid more attention to the details in the various"boxes". As it worked out, the extra postage from the EU warehouse was offset by the low price of the covering, so it ended up OK. The main attraction of the covering, apart from the price, was that it came in 5m. lengths.

I don't worry too much if it is coming from the EU Warehouse (Netherlands). I have ordered loads of Lipo packs and motors they arrive just as quick as the UK usually. Until "Brexit" happens prices are not that way off from the home price. If it is a small item and worth less than £38 and is airmailable, Hong Kong/Singapore airlines will fly it for a small price. Avoid expensive and large box stuff though from Global/Hong Kong. Will make your eyes water!

I want to use pull/pull controls on the Hannibal's rudder and elevators. I've only used the system on rudder, so I trawled the Internet to see if there was an easy way to fit and set-up the wires. I came across this method, looks promising and easy to set-up and adjust. Has anyone used it?
