Filler was then applied to the skeg and shaft
This was quickly followed by a good coat of etch primer
Rudder linkages were made up and fixed to the rudder post
A solid servo mounting was needed as the Barn door rudder puts a lot of strain on the mounting point so some rather agricultural looking frame was constructed out of 20x20 pine this was screwed actually to one of the deck beams the feet of this will be set into P40 at a later date
This has had a piece of plywood fixed to it to not only hold the servo but the Esc and receiver...but that might change ...a Hole has already been cut for a servo
Rough idea of where everything might go
Next job is the Horrible one in my mind...A motor mount has to be made BUT the major problem is two fold really ....only 5mm underneath it and not only that but it has not got any mounting points ...so thinking cap is now on
