I did lots of work on the Dimona today, I got the wheel pants installed, the servos and receiver installed and set up. I found a spinner and folding prop that would work, the spinner is not quite the right size, but I have a bigger one on order. I ran the motor and checked the current draw, it's a little lower than I wanted, so I have new blades for the folding prop on the way.
I finally figured out a tail wheel mount and got that installed, but getting it bent the way I wanted turned into quite a challenge. Since I was almost done with the fuselage, I started working on the wings and right away I discovered a problem. The carbon fiber rod the wing slides onto would not go into the left wing. I could see the tube it slides into was twisted and looked poorly made. After one attempt to glue it, I gave up for the night.
