3223 forum posts 643 photos	Sorry Timbo and thankyou for correcting my error.Richard youll find the Blackhorse Super Air a Doddle after your Chipmunk.Tonight Ive fitted the elevator Servo,which went straight in,the wings have been epoxied together,the stabilizer has been fitted,and the fin and rudder also epoxied into place.Its still all been very straight forward and a pleasure .Iwas out flying until 9,so I feel Ive achieved a lot this evening

3223 forum posts 643 photos	After a good evenings flying ,ive fitted all the control,and apart fromfitting the receiver and battery I cant see much more to do.I am surprised at how quickly and easily this model has progressed.So it looks like tomorrow will consist ofreceiver in,switching on adjusting as necessary,and perhaps take it to work Saturday and run the engine in.If Im not careful,Ill have it ready for flight Sunday

3223 forum posts 643 photos	Heres hoping Im up to the task Shaun,this evening I finishedthe receiver installation wiyh the battery.Most of the servos were close and any adjustment easy.Ive fitted the switch outside just above the wing,im happier with it there.Have an issue with my transmitter may have to move to a different channel,so very little to do tomorrow.

3223 forum posts 643 photos	Thanks Andy,I noticed when I removed it from the car at work it had wrinkled a bit from last night.Very qiuet ar work apart from the sound of a Thunder Tiger 46 pro 2 st being run in..Started instantly and sounds a bit tasty.Sorted out my transmitter problem by changing to another place and rebinding.Every thing appears to be a go

3223 forum posts 643 photos	Went to the field this evening and an expert turned up at the same time as me.We checked the model over,he took off and tested it and gave ir a bigWe then adjusted the ailerons ,but after the Boomerang I had trouble with the take off.We changed Props to a bigger one he took off and I flew around .Im ecstatic.Just need to learn the art of a taildragger take off.

3223 forum posts 643 photos	Thanks Shaun,more practise in the air today,trying to get the feel of it.So much more responsive and have to be so gentle.Still trimming out at the moment,not ready to take off yet.Silly really Ive to tail draggers no problems with them, just getting my confidence to let it go.Better to be safe than sorry.
