The new 85 CCA Excide motorcycle battery did the trick! Only a little more than an additional $60 ... Polini battery and replacement equivalent Duracell just not strong enough. Cross reference on the Polini battery (Duracell) shows it to be for a WHEEL-CHAIR!
Rudder covering complete. Will work on the leading edge of the horizontal stabilizer today.
I had to slightly modify the neat throttle assembly from A/C Spruce that I described earlier in this thread. The motorcycle throttle cable end ferrule was slightly oversized for the fitting. I drilled out the cable opening (to 13/64") to fit the ferrule; then drilled and tapped a #6 set screw hole in the body to lock the cable in place. Will get pictures this afternoon. Works well.
Here's a couple of pictures of the wheel/brake configuration requested ... should be more elsewhere (much earlier) in this log.
