What I like about your tutorials is that you don't talk through the whole process,you show your work,were as some channels I sub to talk way toooo much ,and do not show how it was done , and turn off the camera do it and say see ...great job ..used to fly with dave Patrick who designed this and others while at Carl Goldberg models...well done❤
Hi Frank. At about 42min you say, "Don't know how I'm going to get this push rod back in when the fuse is covered." My suggestion... stand the fuselage on its nose, feed tubes of some kind - maybe fuel tube or, better, snake outers - in the push rod exit slots and down the fuselage to where you can push them over the push rod ends. Then feed the p'rod in as you pull the tubes out. They'll guide the push rod ends through the exit slots nice and easily. QED! Cheers, Phil
Hi Frank looking good. I enjoy your videos. was thinking with your hatch you could use your fret saw to cut some of the structure out and loss a bit of weight and once covered would never know it was there. looking fwd to your next episode. Thanks for sharing your journey.
Thank you. That centering drill is made by Great Planes. The hand drills are just regular old drill bits. Nothing special there. www.towerhobbies.com/product/dead-center-engine-mount-hole-locator/GPMR8130.html
so cool seeing those plans come to life!
Thanks! I agree. It’s part of the fun of building kits that I enjoy. 👍

Good idea. 👍
Hi Frank ,like provided .lt sure is looking good mate ,nearly ready to cover aye .
Thanks! Getting real close to covering. 👍
Hog out that servo panel to resemble the orher open fuslage bays.. 3/16 all around, nobody will notice,but you and me.
I’ll definitely think about it. Thanks! 👍
I use just a drop of thin CA on the horn when it’s placed exactly where I want them then drill and secure
I’d do that if it was covered. I’m just trying to get ahead of the game a little.
