So, the radio is on it's way as are the brass fittings, turnbuckles, & kevlar cable for the flying wires. I've dry fitted the stab, elevator, & rudder to route the control rods then cut them to fit.
I'll have to see what I can get done after this point as Monday I'm going in for my phsyical for a return to Active Duty, this time with the Army. Should be about another month or so before I'm on the road to White Sands...
