I've
ordered a flight pack with the GWS mighty micro servos, i just got conformation
that it shipped today, so, i hope to have it Friday. Since i don't want to
continue the build until i get the flight pack, i'll post this link to a
funfly i built some time ago, with very thorough instructions. The
rest of the build is almost identical. Here's the jist of how i do it:
I install the radio gear into the wing, and fuselage, and install the
landing gear. tape the battery as far forward as possible, then tape the
wing to the fuse, until i find a fairly conservative cg. (usually 25% mac).
Thats how i determine where to cut my wing in. Then i make a
template of the wing root, and trace it onto the fuselage, and cut it out.
Remove one aileron servo, and slide the wing through the fuselage, with
the aileron flipped up over the top of the wing. (see the brickknife build
link below). Then, i can move the battery back after i test fly it
to find the correct cg.
here's
a shot of the servo install on the fuselage, for the rudder and
elevator:
Here you can
see the landing gear, engine mounting, rx and battery mounting. I use
double sided tape, and zip ties to hold everything on, the same for the fuel
tank.
and one of the throttle servo install, as well.
I'll finish up the plans for the final version, as soon as i get the
rest of the parts in. In the meantime, the info above should get you
going.
Cg ends up just behind the spar, but, start with it on the
middle of the spar, just to be safe, then move the battery back. On mine,
the leading edge of the wing was cut in 7 1/4" behind the front of the fuselage.
