Here,i am building the rear landing gear.

Almost done,save for the fact that it aint yet spring-loaded

Installing the rear landing gear to the rear wing.

The top of the metal rod is bent 90 degrees to the right,then 90 degrees to the left. This design was studiously done so.

The designing and building goes on.

Fixed the rudder.

Fabricating the rudder fin.

The fin installed.

no be only you my brother. I dey feel the guy too.

Bro u get talent abeg...............

All thanks to you all for your comments.

Now on to the main wings. I decided to start by building the ailerons. I started designing the aileron hinge,using aluminuim for weight issues.

Went on to attach the arm for the servo pushrod.

Then i installed a ball link for the servo pushrod.
I love ball links...
When you need a hinge with a 2 axis freedom of movement,they come exceptionally handy,owing to their high performance in reducing frictions encountered with a 2 axis freedom of movement joint. Also known as a ball joint.

Next,i fixed the setup to my aileron,which i just fabricated. I did this using electric tapes.

Here's the two ailerons.

And here' my main wing.

I needed to fix some sort of gig on to the wing,to hold the aileron hinge .
So i started by cuting a rectangular sheet from an alumium sheet.

The little holes you see,are going to make a threaded concept on the black metal rod,thus gripping it in place.

I went on to attach the main wing on to the chasis.

Holes are bored into the chasis,and a copper wire pass into it,to be recovered at the top of the wing. I mean the flipped side.

Here's the recoverd copper wire.

You can't just twist those two wires. They would simply cut through the white foam if pressure a imposed on them.
So the best thing to do here is to have a metal to go under the wires.
I cut out a partiall square aluminuim sheet,and gave them two holes.

Then i cut the edges,so i could have them bent.

So i bent them.

I needed six of them. So i made.

Fixing the aluminuim sheets,and twisting the wires.

Had some twisting to be done.

After fixing her.

It was time to start installing some of the electronic gadgets that's needed.
I already had mine handy. These include a Tx,Rx,servo,gyro,speed controller and brushless motor.
In the pix below are the servo,Rx(receiver) and a gyro.
