Any tips regarding the covering, in reference to my previous post?

The covering will first be tacked down at a few places around the frame, then it will be sealed at all the edges, then shrunk tight.

I Think it's time to shrink the covering. With the iron set to 300°F, apply heat using the same pattern used to apply the covering starting at the spar and working outward. It may be necessary to increase the temperature to 320°F to get rid of stubborn wrinkles. Use the minimum amount of heat necessary to tighten the covering.

Tanmay..

I need some help regarding the servo installation.
I am going to be using HXT900 servos all around and need to know how they handle vibration.
I have read many reviews, however I haven't come across any where they have been used in a glow powered plane.
As the servos don't come with rubber grommets, I shall be mounting them by placing a piece of a cycle tyre tube to act as a grommet ;)

Also, can I attach the control horns by gluing them (fevikwik or epoxy) or do I need to screw them in.
I ask this because I don't have proper screws with my control horns and then ones I have, have very big heads. They will work, but won't look very nice.

Sir, grommets are not a problem, I just wish to know how the hxt900 operate under vibrations. I also wanted to know if its safe for me to glue the control horns

Rudder & elevator push rods should ideally cross in the fuse

sanjayrai55

This is not essential (crossing). But make sure there is no fouling under any situation. Maybe it's the angle of the photo, but your servo arms look dangerously close

They are very close, but I test fitted the rods and they are not touching each other or interfering in any way.

Do not glue in the Horns. A failure there will be catastrophic

maahinberi

Yes, I shall screw them in. I have finally managed to find screws that fit ;D
