Sometimes you just need to have a day off and rest Tony.

There is nothing like a dream to create the future.

Electrickery is the work of the devil.

had a play with the hidden control horns today.

first cut the hole for the swingie.
and slot it in place.


then slide the flap on.


then work it from inside the wing.


then we fit the aileron one.


can do the other wing tomorrow and then sort out the strut fittings.

Little bit on the dash as well.

Fitted the other two swingies in the second wing today.

next job is to think about the strut mounting points in the wings and how best to do them.

this is a slow build as it is quite complicated to get it right.

finished gluing in the wing strut mounts today, the next job will be to position the wings and measure the strut lengths.
then i can make up the struts and design the fuselage mounting point for them.

we plod on.
