F18 Build - Part 8

Time is running out blazingly fast and having lost almost a week due to going away on leave has put me back somewhat. The precious little time remaining will be better spent working on the F18 than blogging away and not finishing in time.....

I have progressed in the meantime, having :

a.) glassed the wings (with "live" peel ply hinges), the fuselage and tailfeathers,
b.) "plumbed" the servos into the wing and fuselage
c.) covered the wing, the fins and half the fuselage.

Major steps still to follow are to finish covering all the bits and pieces, fit all the tailfeathers, make all the control pushrods, plumb in the battery pack way up in the nose of the fuselage, cut and apply all the decals, balance it and set up the programming on the radio.

Here are a couple of pics just to keep you coming back.....
