Harbinger Build

[Sled-Works 1]

I do have the Martin Simon's books and a number of other photos Ive collected on the web, but I have not seen any photos of that connection. I will check out Face Book and look into Vince Cockett this weekend. Thanks Doc.

Can you find Martin Simons on Face Book? He might have info you need. Vince Cockett on the English soaring site might have some info, too.

Would any of you have photos or drawings showing how the wing struts are attached to the wing and fuselage on the full scale Harbinger? I have a design in mind but thought a more scale connection might be worth trying. Thank you.

Bummer about the sensitivity to the wood dust. I'd go crazy if I couldn't build! Get well, buddy!

I'm a little gun shy at the moment but will be back at it. Thanks Gene.

It's like self inflicted COPD. I have the same issue with balsa dust. Yet we still build wood models.

Guys - You have probably noticed that I haven't posted much over the last two weeks. Well I accidently breathed in a fair amount of sawdust and have had a tough time since. Ugh. I am sensitive to it and always wear a good mask and have a good vac with a filter. This time it got me. I'm feeling much better today after getting a good nasal spray Friday after a visit to the doc. I've decided to take a mini break from the Harbinger build to heal up, clean the shop, and work on other non-dust making tasks as I feel up to it. I will get after it again soon. - David

Arup - The plug is for the two servos in the stab. Pushrod for the rudder. - David

What function connects to the plug? Elevator? Rudder? Both?

Finally making some time for this bird. Worked on the fuselage servo tray frame and installed that. Laser cut the parts out of chipboard for a trial fit first. Made some adjustments and cut the good stuff. It stiffened up the nose quite a bit as you would expect and got everything aligned nicely too. This frame and the cover that goes with it will make up the floor of the cockpit hiding all the servos and goodies out of site.
Next added a couple hardwood pieces that form the rim of the cockpit. Soldered up the wiring harness and plug for the stab and started adding the wood formers that make up the saddle for the stab. Will add some stringers this evening. Giddy-up, - David
