A little snow this morning, so I went right out to take a picture before there were lots of footprints in it. We both felt like a day at home, so we did not even make a mail run. I finally made it out to the shop about 11, I got the laser level out and fitted the sub fin to the Dirty Birdy. When the glue had set, I installed the horizontal stabilizer and big surprise, it lined up perfectly.
I did some more work fitting the tail rotor gearbox, the Sikorsky has the tail rotor on the opposite side from what is normal for model helicopters. I turned it around, right away I ran into a problem, the pitch control linkage will not work, so I will look online for something that will work. If nothing is available, I will have to modify the existing one.
