Elevon Control

Took a couple of hours of searching through many boxes from my last move. Found the Control horns.

Using the horns, 1mm carbon fiber rod, and the linkage shown, finally have controls rigged.

Installing some fairleads over the open holes in the wings where the servo arms stick up. Enlarged the holes to allow proper movement of the arms, without binding.

The fairleads are there to stop the wind from getting inside the wing and causing it to balloon. Might even tear it up once it gets to speed. Fairleads are needed.

Photo 49 shows the fairlead on the right side in place. After the first glue dried, went around the fairlead with another bead of glue as shown. Don't want the wind to get under it!

Photo 50 shows the size of hole the fairlead is covering, this one is next on the left wing.

Photo 51 shows what the fairlead looks like from a distance.

Hopefully these fairleads won't cause any flight issues!

Fuel system is next!
