Red Katana Wing Flyer

The Wing

I installed two servos onto the wing of the deposed red Katana (Techone Katana), and found one aileron has much less throw than the other.

I paired up the two servos before hand and am sure they are fine. The fault lies with one of the aileron horns. One of them is loose, it has squashed the epo and is taller then the other, so I applied hot glue and both throws looks ok now.

I decided I want the servos lead to pass up through the wing to the top surface of the wing. Some slices with an NT cutter and a push with a screwdriver made this possible.

The wing is completed.

The Pod

This is constructed of 1" blue foam.
A blank of 3" wide blue foam is offered to the underside of the wing.
I decided to place the ESC at the bottom of the wing and gourge out 1.5" strip from the bottom foam piece.
The receiver plug and T-connectors are pushed through the same hole created for the servos.
A 3" foam offcut is cut into three pieces, the central being 1.5". The two external pieces are gorilla glued flat onto the bottom foam piece, at the battery compartment area, temporary banded with rubber bands.
Use cling firm around the middle foam piece so the expanding gorilla glue will not glue it shut.

Next construction step will be to decide if it is necessary for a top foam piece, I'd rather not. Then it will be preparation of firewall and the optional step of putting a nose piece.
