Built a box around servo mount so the turret can be removed by lifting it out by removing two screws.

Getting banding installed so that turret will be able to rotate. Again, a slow process. Shows floor where servo will be mounted.

Continued work on turret. Getting correct diameter is a slow careful process. Servo mounted and will allow turret to be removed.

To reach this location the hinge will need an extension. Robart hinge fits perfectly in the brass tube. Will use the brass extension on both ends of the hinge.

Determining the hinge point for the semi fowler flap. My reading is that the hinge point is under the farthest wing cover trailing edge of flap cover. As drawn out this location is very similar to the actual flap hinge point in the full-size plane.

Flap rotated 45 degrees and you can see the air channel that is created for the air to pass over the flap when extended.

Kind of a slow process to get this air intake to be correct. Did notch the cowl after studying photos of actual aircraft.

Magnet/nail cowl attachment works very well. Can barely get them off. Cleaned up nails and it helped in removing the cowl.

Build up on nacelles for air intake. Oversized cowl makes this a little tricky.
