Apparently building an RC aircraft out of Styrofoam from scratch isn’t an awful lot of work. Only 3 evenings and a partial afternoon got the job done. So here is the final part of the construction of the Mikey’s RC F117 pusher prop jet.

After the second tail fin was attached, the only thing left was mounting the electronics. First I put on one servo, then measured up how it was sitting and then attached the other one exactly the same.

The I mounted the ESC on a piece of Velcro, so it can be easily removed.

I put the receiver on the other side of the fuselage. The other little device you see there is a v-tail mixer. A cheap and easy solution if you don’t have a transmitter that supports v-tail/delta mixing.

I had some Y-leads and the servos had too short wires, so I took apart the Y-leads and made them into extension cables to attach to the servos. Then I taped all the wires to the wing.

And then it’s done!

I think the Concorde from Mikey’s RC will be my next aircraft project.
