Wow, great detail on this build. I like how you built new engine boxes, that go all the way back to the wing tube.
I never did thank for posting the, more specific info, about the carbon wing tubes that you put in place.
Still have not had the time to get into retro-fitting new tubes into my 310. Think my challenge is going to be getting the old tube out, and maintain tubing alignment.
- My plan is to make a drill bit out of tubing, that "just" fits over the current tube. Going to use the current tube as a pilot to bore all the way down into the wing.
I am hoping that this will minimize the need for a fixture, as those tubes are already running parallel ...
- will have to measure to make sure. might be able to "float" the tubes at the butt joint to take up minor (a few microns), then tied it down.
As mention, this plan is complete, and trying no to tear into too much.

I am currently in the process of building a Nosen 310 from an original kit. Yep doin it old school. Well sorta. Im not using nitro engines. I do have a question for those who have built or owned one. What servos to use for surfaces. Particularly how much torque do they need to have?
