Jet wings

Hi all, sorry for the lack of updates to the blogg, the last post was from the USA, since then it has been busy,busy,busy at work, however, now things are back to normal, so hopefully I can get back to building the Hawk. While over in florida, I went to a few model shops in the Orlando area. The best model outlet with the largest stock was Florida Central Hobbies, just 10 min from international Drive on Kirkman Drive. The shop is packed with items for planes, boats and cars, with prices well below what we pay in the U.K. however for the real bargains, buy the local products i.e. Great planes, Robart Air and other U.S. products, for example, I was looking for a new Li Po charger from Great Planes, price here £120, I picked it up for £45, also I needed quick release connectors from Robart Air for the wings of the Hawk, price here £10 for a pack of two, I got these for £2.50, it pays to look for the bargains. Bob and sharon run the shop, very helpful and nice to talk to, so if you are in the area on your next holiday to Orlando, call in and grab a bargain.
So what about the jet?, well I started on the wings, by adding the control horns, simple job, next I added the wing servos JR 3301, a slim servo is required due to the limited space at the wing tips. For the flaps ,I used a standard JR digi servo, a 5.5kg model, should be o.k. One thing I did notice, is that the servos mounts in the wings, with the servos in place, do not line up with the control horns, now I know I can bend the control rods to over come this problem, but later I will be adding the underwing control rod covers, which must run at a slight angle to the wing surface, well they will not fit, I will have to check with the 'jet man' Mr Robb to see what can be done to over come this. Well thats it for now happy landings.
