HI Guys,

Not a lot more done. The throttle servo mount and rudder servo mount is done. At this point I'm going to swap to wing/stab servo trays, sanding, and monocoting. The firewall is installed too far forward to use my Budd mount. If I use it, the motor will be more than 0.25" sticking out from the nose of the plane.

What Hyde mount is better than the AR80? When I ran the AR80 I couldn't keep a header on the engine. What mount is a bit stiffer than that one? Or, if someone happens to have an extra PassPort firewall laying around they could trace for me I'll consider knocking out this one and installing a new one. Anyone with a firewall they can trace, scan, and email it to me?

Nothing is simple right? Here are a few pictures of the rudder servo tray. Then entire radio bay is now boxed-in with formers and it is VERY STIFF. This is at least as stiff as my Osmose was throughout this same area so I'm confident the plane is going to hold together nicely. The wing adjuster area of installation doesn't flex at all. The forward pin area doesn't flex, so I think this will be good.
Thanks,
Jim
