Working on the wings. Having to sand off some of the opening to fit the servos.

Re: Paul's Edge 540T
I put a little more work in. Got the servos mounted in the wings (drilled holes, threaded, CA reinforced, and then screwed into place). Ran into a problem again, though. Don't have servo horns that are long enough. The original servos I bought came with horns that would have worked, but they don't fit the spline on the new servos so did some searching and found some dubro horns that will work. Got them ordered up and should be here Monday.
So I'm thinking I'm going to skip ahead a bit and do the landing gear, rudder, and get the servos mounted for rudder and ele, along with getting the rudder push-pull stuff in place. Will also see if I can do the elevator stabilizer installation before getting the servo horns squared away.

Re: Paul's Edge 540T
Little more work. Drilled holes for one aileron control horn but couldn't find the right screws. After tearing the room apart and looking through the box again I looked through the instructions and realized I was missing a lot of hardware. Stumped I looked through the box again. No dice. Then a brainstorm. I looked under a bottom fold/flap in a sub box and found the missing baggie of hardware!
I had already put things away so no more work tonight. But tomorrow I plan to make more progress.

Sounds like your "unboxing" didn't go too well Paul.....

Re: Paul's Edge 540T
Got the aileron horns mounted and the linkage ready for cutting. Got the landing gear together and installed, but need to disassemble in order to grind some flats on the axles for the set screws. Finally making some progress. Going to be a busy weekend, but hopefully will find some time to do more.

Re: Paul's Edge 540T
More progress last night. Got the aileron linkages cut, bent and set to go. Pins glued in too. Also got the tail wheel installed.
Elevator stabilizer is next up.
