right decided to do a bit more. (i need to clear all the back log of builds)
cut out one flap, finished sheeting it and did the hinges.
first time using robart hinges.
thats full down at 1.75 inches.
aileron on that side next, then we can do flap and aileron on the other side.

we now have 2 flaps
Both ailerons sorted and the wing tips shaped and sanded.
wing back on to check flap fit against the wing fairing.
next we have to take the wing off agian and fit the flap servo's and decide about retracts.
though they will have to go on hold until i have the funds, so i will go back to the fuselage and sort out battery trays and cockpit details.

battery box in place.
gun ports in place, i need to blend these into the wing before covering.
Now not in the original kit, but fitted to the real thing is the outlet for the radiator scoop.
this gave an extra 4 top 5 mph when open.

Cut and sanded the exhausts.
filled the bottom of the nose molding where it was cut for an ic engine.
cut the air intake to help cool the motor and esc.
drilled the vent holes, 25 each side. these were vent panels on the full size as well, though they could be covered in cold weather.
just need to do the final sanding on the fuselage and i can start covering it.
