Got into this project tonight! Designed for DA150 so the GP176evo should be insane!!
Crazy cool design! All servos are placed at the center of the plane (at wingtube).
* 2 servos ganged together drives long CF pushrod to elevator bellcrank
* 2 servos ganged together for pull pull for rudder
* 2 servos at each wing root ganged together
Tons of CF
Nice canister tunnel
Seams finished and painted
Cool strips on LE of ailerons

First step tonight was to make up the proper thickness of hardwood donut stand-off.
The standoff is a piece of birch and a piece of CF laminated plywood.
22mm thick
Will install motor tomorrow.

So thankful my wife wanted decorative posts in this house LOL!
After lining up the motor/standoff/spinner to the cowl, I got the stand-off installed with a fillet of Hysol 9462

Oh ya... forgot to show the LG install. I reeaaaallly like this new design by CompARF... gear is held on with bolts that clamp down CF bars! So instead of breaking the fuse, these CF bars can break. Sorta like the BVM sacrificial flex plates on the Jets
Airman 5” wheels!!
Wheels pants are molded to fit around the gear legs.

Tailwheel is a Secraft Titanium unit.
I inserted a hardpoint in the bottom of the rudder to anchor the steering spring

Reworked the tail wheel steering.
Mockingbird steering shocks and a hardpoint with a CF bracket to get the geometry right.
