sideways. A three sided rudder servo mount was then made from ply and screwed to the supplied
servo tray. This allows both servos to be very positively mounted without having a hole larger

I made up a 1.5mm ply battery tray and glassed it place to provide a firm base for the LiPo and to
strengthen the cockpit area that is a traditional problem area in molded gliders. The Hornet is
stiffer than most around the cockpit but the additional strength will help with the inevitable not so
perfect landing.
The servo tray is glassed in place and finished with peel ply material. The servos can then be
fitted in place.

epoxy mixed with a little micro balloons to thicken it up a bit while curing.
