Covering done.
Not very happy with low heat covering material.
Radio installation another evening...

Ready for Maiden flight, once the batteries are charged...
Controls work in the correct direction.

Trial fitting of motor mount.
Looks about right, motor slightly ahead of CG location indicated on plan, some up thrust.
Now need to figure out the routing of the 3 wires...   ???

Done!
Ready for Maiden Flight.
Using a 3-cell battery, CG slightly nose down as recommended by @Frank v B .
Waiting for free time and good weather.

While not aesthetically pleasing, I would recommend using a plastic pull-tie to secure the wires to the pylon.

Thank you for the tip @Michael .
Fixed as suggested.

Well, the Maiden Flight did not go as planned...
Nothing broken, just my pride.
I need to figure out why it nose dived under full power.
