Tom got his head down and got busy! Tom installed 2 wing servo's and 2 servo's in the tail - Tom used HS-85's for all 4 servo's.

I used the HS-81 and had no problems but the 85's should be better as the 81's gears don't take a knock very well and strip easy.

Tom going Electric replaced the 1/16 th sheeting on the fuselage top hatch and on the built up area over the wing center section with 1/32.

Tom also didn't fully sheet the rear of the wing with 1/16th sheeting instead made the 1/16 cap strips longer to the Trailing edge! Tom also drilled cooling holes into the firewall etc for the batteries.
