OK, you shamed me into action
(well, some action at least)
Today I put the servos in the wings. I am physically incapable of getting the bends right using Z bend pliers. Incredible! This was the best for length and I managed to bend it the wrong way... it'll do. There's a nice channel under the flat ridge just aft of the servo which is exactly sized for the servo plugs and runs all the way to the centre of the wing, exiting above a corresponding channel in the fuselage. 3DLab Print really thought about this design! Annoyingly, my servo cable extensions are precisely the wrong length so instead of leaving the joining plugs halfway out of the wing I had to pull them back an inch. If it wasn't for that, you wouldn't see that servo cable at all..
Got all the electronics working

Sadly, I can only get the fat controller working. The nice small one WAS working but now only makes the ESC beep. I'll keep trying.
So, all up weight right now is
of which, quite a chunk is the 3S battery. Although there will be a bit more with the prop and the tailwheel. Annoyingly, I can't find the bit of wire I bought specially for the tailwheel so that'll have to wait.
Here is the GORGEOUS arrangement under the bonnet. I guess we'll need some velcro too, right now the battery is free to slide all the way to the tail, which I hear is bad.
While that was going on, I broke open my fresh spool of very clever lightweight, foaming TPU filament. This stuff is a bit like the Lightweight PLA that is used for the wings and fuselage but more rubbery. The fun part is that flexibility of the part varies with the nozzle temperature you use while printing. The range is about 220-250C. So, I did what you should never do with a new filament and grabbed settings from my last wheel attempt with a different filament and using only my gut I changed about 10 settings (without recording them) and hit print. It was pretty good!
I've done another one that was tidier and used a more flexible infill pattern, which also came out at 7 grams so I'm going with that as the final take.
So here it is so far... damnit - need some rubber bands too...
