Helping a mate with this one.

BIG box!


33% Cub wing, not clipped.


33% fuselage.


After too many weeks working out of the country the owner came home to all this stuff... and a smoking credit card!  ;)


Came via Bob's Hobby Center down in Orlando except the wires and plugs on bottom left.


First job, cutting into the stab for the elevator servos.


Bit tight!


But in they went.


Ended by gluing in the hinges. Next up, control linkages, then rinse, lather, repeat!


When we have more than one servo per control surface it pays off if you try to select servos that are close to each other. It doesn't hurt to have 10 servos to try and pair together either!


Servo wire yards are starting to pile up!


I'm pretty sure the wings are bigger than the lower wings on a full size Pitts!  :cool:


Studs for the ailerons.


Nice to have the Powerbox to help with setup and power distribution. Doesn't hurt if you have Futaba setup that you can get 14 channels out of this baby just by adding two 3 channel SBUS Rx's. I'll settle for 4 satelites and Spektrum in this case.


Not getting smaller!


Elevator ready to go, did I mention how much I like syncing servos via the Powerbox.


Side and down thrust, we're picking the DA-170 up from the post office on Monday. Has just been run in by the previous owner over in the UK.
