Tail planking finished

Finally finished the planking at the tail. Let the sanding commence!

Colour scheme.

Probably going for something like this.

Starting boxing in the rear

Starting to box in the back at last. Thread lock on all hidden push rods etc... will probably fit the tail tomorrow.😁

Servos in!

The rear of the Zero still needs planking but I can't do this until the controls for the rudder and elevator have been installed. Tonight I have installed the two large servos for these control surfaces. These servos will move the 6mm diameter carbon push rods which need connecting up before the planking can continue.

Rudder control horn

Rudder and rear wheel control horn ready to be welded.

Just for fun!

Thought I would see how she looks at the moment. Still a lot to do, but getting there!

Elevator control

Just made my control horn for the elevator. This will be inside the fuselage. Just needs welding onto the bar.😁

Rudder

Rudder built. Just needs covering with Solatex or similar!

Back at it!

After a few years of doing nothing on the plane due to family life and trying to start my own model shop venture as well as designing and building my own model of a Bolton Paul Defiant, I am back at it!! 

Just building the control surfaces.
