Took the first steps in getting this big trainer bird into a decent state.
Here's what it looks like before I start.
1st stage is to strip off the knackered film covering and assess the woodwork underneath.
Apart from some thin balsa sheeting which has been broken in a minor impact the wings are looking pretty good. The central servo is working cleanly but this form of connection has a lot of slop in it so tempted to change it to separate servos with a direct pushrod. That will also mean breaking the wing down to two parts for transportation will be easier.
