Wings.
The aileron servos have already pre-made holes in the wing and there are also a thin thread to pull the wires through.   So I just pull the wires through and screw in place the servo.   On the one picture you can see a finished up servo with pushrod, and parts that I need to make the other one.  So its just straight forward follow the building manual step by step.
     Since the plane now is almost finished, I think I will finish up all the graphics on the plane, but first I need to finish up the engine cowling.  I only have to make holes for the engine cylinder and some air outlets.  There are also here suggestions how to do this in the manual.  I always mark out from my head what I feel would be ok.  You can see from underneath what the results look like.
For the air outlets I have used a pre-made template.  I just lay it on the cowling where I want them ,and mark with a pen and the use the Dremel tool to open it up.
 
The plane is now nearing completion with all its graphics on the outside. What I have left is the fuel tank, choke and throttle pushrods. Receiver, power expander , batteries and switches. And of course, the propeller.
I am waiting for the batteries ,power expander but hopefully it will be here soon.

 

 

 

I finished up the pushrods for the throttle and choke shown on a picture.  Underneath the fuel tank I glued in a piece of plywood to stop the heat from the canister and secured the tank in place, making fuel filler and air vent and fuel line for the engine.   Then I go for the ignition setup.
As you can se from the pictures I mount the battery on the same side as the switch but the ignition switch is on the other side so the sparkplug lead will be better situated.

 

At the same time I install the two switches for the batteries for the power expander and the receiver on the other side. Same side as the ignition as you see on the picture.
I am still waiting for the power expander , but I have anyway setup the plane for my transmitter against the receiver, so when the power expander arrives it's just to install and get ready to fly.
The picture from the power expander is from my 33% SD model Yak, but this is the same that I will use for this aircraft.
 
So the plane is actually almost finished up now, it is set up and ready for the first engine start-up tomorrow in my back yard, then I will run threw a few liters of gas and make the fine tuning on the engine.
When this is done its just to get the cg on the right place using the batteries and that's it.
More pictures will follow when the plane gets assembled outside and started.
