Epilogue progress:
Scrubbed/washed the fuse to remove mold release. Applied filler and primer to the seam then wet sanded smooth to touch. Fitted servos in the wings and stabs plus the rudder in the fuse for pull-pull. Used the dremel router attachment to route slots in the ailerons, elevators and rudder to accept carbon control horns. I have elected to outfit the wings with traditional balsa tips instead of the supplied carbon wing tip plates.
Next step is to approximate where to position the motor battery tray. This involves assembly of the airframe components with the motor batteries shifting them fore and aft to determine the cg range of 200 to 260mm measured from the wing’s leading edge. It’s not surprising to have such a rearward cg option with swept wings. Plan is to try using the removal battery tray system marketed by F3AU.
