If i lived closer i'd be up for that, If i didn't have the daily commitments up here i'd drive the 300 miles to have a ganders to be honest

Not too far from the end result now eh Andy

Hi Andy Remarkable is not the word the effort and love thats gone into this build as touched everyone thats looked into this thread.

[Guest]

well said Ian .....

You never know you might just get a weird PM asking if i can nip in and have a cuppa whilst standing there looking at this aircraft with my jaw dropped as we will be down in the midlands for my daughters wedding in sept

Anyway just shown your latest pictures to my other half, Elaine, she knows the story behind the build and as I've said before, she's not into modeling but she can see the time, effort, love and passion thats gone into this .. "wow!" was said many times as she looked at all the photos.

Andy, I'm not one to give over to emotion easily, but reading the posts as the this superb model of yours comes close to completion certainly gets me going a bit......

And the reason for the build in the first place couldn't be bettered!

All quite remarkable stuff.

Hi guys, thanks for the kind words. Been a while since my last post... been having internet problems, a tree in the street was bearing down on the cable and worn through the insallation. Open Reach came today and replaced the line.

That said its time to post some pics. This is the bottom wing, well one of them anyway.

You will see here that the servo is in the wing, just like most cases in this build they have allowed no provision, instruction or materials for you to get over the problem of a floating servo. You are left to your own imagination on how you are going to fix/support it, another disapointment. Anyway, you will see how i did it.

With the servo completed its time to make the pulley and cover the wing.

[ATTACH]47235.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]47236.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]47237.vB[/ATTACH]

The pulley was made by glueing some different size nylon washers together on a peice of styrene tube, bent a brass strip over, drilled and passed through a nut and pin then secured to the wing by 2 split pins. I think it looks ok. I covered the wing in three peices, this made it easier to do.

Below you can see the servo position and in place.
