Topwing aileron actuators. The ailerons are glued to the metal rod, and pushing and pulling the end of the torque rod moves the aileron up and down.

Showing the lightened horizontal tail feathers. They will be operated by a pull-pull cable system, for maximum lightness.

CD-ROM motor now mounted, upper and lower wing leading edges sanded. AUW currently coming out as 4.4oz. Seems to balance with the battery behind the firewall, and the servos in the cockpit.

Fuse basically together now. I've done an 'anti Duckett' on it, and actually removed wood from a Guillow's kit! Sorry David. :) As can be seen, I've milled out some of the wood from the rear formers to keep weight down. You can also see the lack of side k
