Spitfire construction, part 1

I started building the spitfire kit this week. I acquired a plaster plate from the local hardware store, which made for a lot more stable building surface than my old scavenged cork board.

I am concerned about the reliability of the linear servos I got from ebay, but otherwise the build is going OK.




I printed a pair of servo holders, since there's an IC on the underbelly of the servos, making direct attachment to the balsa impossible.
