You could do Dave when you got a few hours to spare as it is only polyester covered (hopefully) because if it is covered in Monocoat you got trouble. It flies well so leave it alone.:lol:

Hope there's nothing significant about the Phase 6 being in front of the big bin in the last photo.
Hope the maiden goes well.

It didn't! Wind was nowhere as forecast. :( Another day maybe in the forthcoming week.

Thanks go to Mike on the servo cover tip. ;)

Following on from Mike's tips on Saturday I have replaced the control snakes with 1.5mm piano wire. Soldered 2mm adaptors on to the horn ends and Z bends at servo arm. Managed to slide a brace along the snake outers down inside the depths of the fuselage (a job I should've done before gluing on the bottom fuselage floor) to stop any flex.

Also for the future "hoolies" built in a ballast box. ;)

Waiting now for a good wind at a decent slope!
