I have been very lazy posting this.....I think its because it might be the last post....or close enough anyway

I have now done all the electrics, though my machine gun servo doesnt do anything yet.

Electrics were fun to test and to get right, I bought some cable clips & extensions for some of the power cables and the RX control wires....very useful as otherwise it would have been a complete criss-cross spiderweb in there.

Oh my wordy I had to file down the edges of the front top deck to make it fit.....and I redid the bolts on the rear top deck for the third time. You definitely need to use regular nuts on the square bolts between the support bracket and the deck, if you do this the spacing is perfect.
