Velie Monocoupe

The fuselage cabin area is rather cavernous and installing modern radio electronics does not pose any difficulties. Care should be taken to position the components in a way that allows easy access and also aide in balancing. This picture shows the elevator and rudder servos with the receiver and antenna positions: The heavier components such as ESC and battery are positioned as forward as possible under the turtle deck through the hollowed F1 and up against the firewall:

Covering the wing required two steps. First I covered the bottom of both panels, and before covering to tops I installed the aileron servos and ran the wires to the wing center: Since the servos are covered and have no access hatch, I installed a 1/8" square between the aileron servo ribs. This way, when the wing is completely covered only a small patch can be removed and reattached above the servo. The 1/8" stick, ribs and top spar form a convenient surface for adhesion. The finished wing, covered and with two coats of sealer before attaching the ailerons.

Aileron servos are Hitec HS-40. They will be permanently glued to a tray on the wing and linked to the ailerons: The servo will be glued to the tray after the bottom covering is in place and before the top wing covering is attached.
