Top photo with stopcock, fuel filter, dry lock fuel fill. Hopefully I have ECU and jetcat telemetry module properly programmed to my JETI transmitter. Next step , get my buddies to assist with run up

Jetcat SPT10 installation. Duck decoy weights in bottom of nose to adjust CG. As per Danny Diaz helpful recommendations ran all lines underneath and shielded with fiberglass heat shields from McMaster and also wrapped those aluminum tape.

In the process of weathering the top fuselage and placing dry transfers. This photo shows the grey perimeter cushion that interfaces between the conformational fuel tanks and the fuselage. I used grey heat shrink tubing to mimic this and contact adhesive to glue the tubing to the conformational fuel tank. Looks very close to the full-size

So it turns out the retract controller does not shut off when RX powered off. I decided to mount 2 switches under the front tray. Above is the switch on the left side which is plugged into a 2S lipo and then into both the retract and brake controller. The other switch plugged into 3S lipo and does lights

This is the motor I’m using in a 1/4 scale hawker hurricane. Also have started a 1/4 scale Saab J21 which will use the same motor.

Controller wiring on tray above fuel cell. Still need to plug in wings to see which nav light wires go into which JST “Y” connectors. They are all 3V

Formation lights working. I have them plugged into a separate channel with same gains as mentioned above. Plugged in a 3S lipo. Working nicely and able to turn as shown above.

Pilot in my 1:3.5 hawk. I think came from Tomahawk when I ordered the hawk. Not sure if available anymore. Pretty sure will be a good fit for PC-21 but actually haven’t tried it yet. The glue holding down both seats in PC-21 did not hold during shipping and had broken free from cockpit tub during shipping. Only damage was some scratches on canopy

The servo lead from nose steering servo runs straight up and over tray to servo distribution box. To the right you will see the landing light wires tethered to the retract mount wood. That keeps the wires away from nose steering servo arm and the nose strut can cycle without the wires hanging up.

Retract, brake, and light wires from the wings. Think will make a hole in the black fuel tank cover, place a rubber grommet. Then run wires thru the grommet and secure retract and light controllers on the fuel tank cover
