Autopilot servos arrive

Thursday, November 17th, 2005

Last week I ordered pitch and roll servos from Trutrak. Here they are:

I didn't order an autopilot control head yet, since I won't need it for a long time. I just wanted to get these little guys in-house so I can pop them in when the opportunity arises.

Latest information is that the QB kit will arrive sometime next week, which conveniently is when I'll be out of town. If that happens I'll have to call in all the favors I can get, in hopes of getting enough friends to come to my house during Thanksgiving and unload my airplane while I'm in Texas visiting the in-laws…

The waiting really is the hardest part! The quickbuild wings and fuselage have been bought and paid for since almost a month ago, but they are still sitting at the Van's factory. Currently I'm waiting for a delivery slot from Partain Trucking… the latest word is that it's slipped out two more weeks. Hope I don't drive Mary crazy in the meantime.
