Great build but what a lot of clamps and fiddling to put the fuselage sheeting on. Its too late for you with the fuselage but for the wings try the PVA and hot iron method as described in the Ghost Squadron tutorial videos. This would have also worked for the fuselage sheeting for future reference.

Much easier and quicker.... and no need for a bucket full of clamps !

Hello John,
Thanks for your positive reply and comment about "sheeting" the fuselage. I appreciate !
At earlier stage I have seen the video(s) you are reffering to and understand the "easyness".
I choosed for sheeting the fuselage with the largest pieces I could put on at one time.
It looks a hassle, but with simply making a paper template it's a matter of "half a hour work".
And for the matter of clamps . . . . . it's a great help to have a lot of those. I can tell you . . this Flamingo is straight as an arrow in all directions. So are the wings.
For the wings I'm certainly considering the sheeting with hot iron and PVA.
Regards,
Rick

No servo's in the tail section, saves weight. Pull-pull for both elevators.

Hey Rick,
I have started a build thread for the Ikarus a Jilles Smit design. The build thread will keep me honest.

Progress is slow at the moment . . .
Cables are all "crossed"
Meaning:
Left servo is for right elevator, right servo is for left elavator
Top side servo arm, connects to lower end of elevator drive
Lower side servo arm, connects to top end of elevator drive
Left hand side, rudder-servo arm, connects to right hand side rudder
Right hand side, rudder-servo arm, connects to left hand side rudder
So all wires/cables runs (without intervering) through the narrow fuselage at the rear
Goal: saving weight of three servo's at the far end of the fuselage, with it saving "some" balance weight in the nose and saving total weight.
