thank you Ben!

i just made a choke linkage set up, had to flip the little arms, but now we are good.

time to install the throttle servo. glueing in hard points now for the screws.

 

[orthobird]

any dalton owners out there? how is your throttle linkage set up?
i am trying to figure out how i will do this?

 

[orthobird]

got it!! i made myself a throttle arm out of aluminum. all i need now is a servo arm for JR, aluminum as well. need to go to the LHS!!!

 

[orthobird]

here it is now!

these are now ready for priming! then painting! (not included in this picture is the bottom of the cowl).

I just finished applying primer to the cowl/canopy/hatch/wheel pants/shroud/baffle plates/air dams!

on the cowl and hatch there are millions of pinholes!
and the hatch still has some imperfections.
i had done the primer with microballons, which worked, but lots of work.

i will try some of the spot putty from Bondo (907)

see how that does.

still needs more primer... more sanding...

i am not yet happy with it.

he tanks are installed. waiting on some fuel dots from aztech rc, and then i need to manufacture some type of fancy looking air vent tubes!! anyone have any ideas??

 

[orthobird]

the hatch and top cowl are now on their 2nd coat. and not too bad!!
i am thinking, in 48 hours, a light sanding of 500 paper, then an additional 2 more coats before i sand for the last time.
