It's first time outside!

I got the Ford Tri-Motor to the point that I wanted a good picture of it so I took it out on the lawn.  I got the ailerons covered yesterday and mounted them today.  After the glue dried I hooked up the aileron linkage and got them centered.
I had the elevator and rudder servos picked out and had made mounts to fit them but do you think I could find them today!  I finally found a couple of others that fit the mounts.  They are tomorrow's job along with making up the linkage.  Then add props, the tail wheel and do a weight and balance.  I will take the dummy engine off for the first flights, then if everything goes well I will build the other two dummy engines and add the decals
