Using motor mount from Dieter to cut out firewall for gearbox mount

If you're new to multi-servo wings (like I was) you might find this useful. I used a 9 pin D plug mounted on the surface of the wing in the moulded indentation. (pic on the right). The fuselage plug was pushed down into a "hollowed out mounting block receptacle"  made up and screwed to the underneath of the pylon top surface (you can just see the screws). To ensure the correct depth, the fuse plug was wired up, plugged into the wing, coated with epoxy (to grip the block) then the wing was seated, pushing the fuse socket down to the correct depth/position (insert the wing bolts to make sure before it cures). The fuse plug is shown before being pushed down of course.

Flying Impressions So Far

This is the nicest plane - bar none, I've flown. It is sensitive whether flying slowly or whistling about doing whacky stuff. I'm still fiddling with the radio setup but even as it is I love it. ***** rating for quality and fun.
