Been away from the project for awhile...had to get the new plane ready for the Memorial Day flying session. I hope everyone had a good safe weekend!

I finally got the drive belts installed. The "Y" was out of square .009. I managed to get it square by adjusting the cog belt on one side. The belt clamps aren't pretty but they hold good. Now I'm ready for the part I'm not sure about...wiring. There's a guy I work with...I'm sure every one knows one of these guys. If an electron ever ran thru it Denny knows all about it...and it's no BS...he does! So I'm going to enlist his help to as he puts it "Keep the magic smoke inside"

The black hose on top of the "Y" is actually the hose from my HVLP sprayer. It's as flexible as a wet noodle, has a 7/8" ID, 15' long, and a brand new one is only about $30. I'm going to try to build a trough out of 1/4" luan for it to roll into and see if it will work as a cable tray.

Icecube, I added the fan to help cool the "X" axis motor...might be overkill?

More to come.
