I added a few extra details!
I added this handdrawn instrument panel, and I tried to keep it as realistic as possible. We got a speedometer, altimeter, variometer, compass, navigation, FLARM and radio. I took a little inspiration from the full scale glider Im flying.
Glider pilots will recognize this very simple but useful instrument. Its a simple string that helps coordinating the turns. If the air blows the string to one side, the airplane is flying a little sideways, which means less efficient.
I also replaced the stick and added a throttle lever.
The stick moves using these two 5g servos.
I also added a few useful things that help with folding the plane together. Its now a ONE piece airplane, which means that you dont have to worry about loosing parts like screws, but its also a toolless assembly!
The skewers securing the leading edge of the wing are held in the plane by strings so you dont loose them. Inside, the holes are reinforced with plywood.
The wing struds are held on to the wing because they were really annoying in transport mode.
The wing just sits on these skewers, which is extreamely helpful to prevent the wings from unfolding while transported.
