Took some time to get started, best laid plans and all that!

Servos are in, tow hook has been moded, wiring is being made and I forgot to take pictures! I'll try and do better next time we're working on it! Though the assembly is pretty straight forward and not much to dwell on!

Brakes being installed, the compartment is marginal in size, 1-2mm more depth would be nice.


There'll be close to 15 meters of wire in the plane when all is done. This one goes to the tail servos.

 
Fish boxes make for nice cradles.


Plenty of room for the accessories, the satelites are waiting to be installed.


Loooong way back!

The inner panels are big so every measure is needed to wire them!


Wiring looms for the wing connection from the rx to fuse/wing join.


Still plenty of space, at times three arms shared that space!


The tow hook modification.


24 kg of pull should do the trick, at least we didn't manage to jam it!

Setting up throws.


3 kg put in the nose, might need more, we'll see.


It's BIG!

Hi selleri
Very nice one there.You should have a ball with it.It is in fact funny
that some had problems with it but let's hope yours is Ok.
I do not know if this is your first big one but I can assure you that if
it is the case you will just love flying those biggies.
I do fly big ones like a Duo-Discus at 8m with the AFT-25 system
and also building a 1/2 scale Duster right now.
How great that would be that you post some pics of your " 8 "
in our forum pages  also.
It will be very nice to have you aboard.
Thanks,
Daniel

Hi Daniel

Afraid it's my mates but he has hinted that I can have a go when I've landed the tug, lol.   :wink:

I'll head over tomorrow and post at your forum but now it's bed time, dreaming of glass slippers and gull winged woodies.
