Old kit, New Tech ver 2.0

[F22trainer]

Wires on top done, now for the real fun. Double wires from each wing mount to landing gear, then double wires from each gear to the center fuselage.
so when I get bored I can switch gears and work on the wheel pants!

[F22trainer]

Started fitting the wheel pants...9 pieces each side. Ugh, gotta get it done to get the wires finished.

[F22trainer]

Well it ain’t happening fast, but it is happening.

SIG kits are cool, but the plastic parts and the big slabs of balsa take time and a band saw!!!! LOL Looking great!!!

Fortunately, the gf got me one of those last Christmas! Yes, that fuselage is 3/4” thick in some places!
Thanx!

Maybe I can get a bit more done on Sunday, fly in on Saturday. Holidays will bring time off.

There ya go! Looking great!

Ordered a Platinum Hobbywing ESC instead of chancing the Castle Cremations, and left side nearly done fitting.

[F22trainer]

Actually, the right side is going together faster than the left.

Very nice!

Did get some flights in early, but got out of the cold and into the shop to make some good progress today.

Fairings around the tail feathers, struts and some alignment issues resolved. She’s coming apart tomorrow for final paint.
