All rigging complete. Two days of rigging the final cabane with 1/8th Steel braid cable. Went with that as it is the easiest and most flexable when the wings are removed. Last detail is to make the engine cylinders. Those are all traced out and just need the gumption to cut them out.
On the Concept Fleet, I've begun to remove the fabric and inspect the wings for transmittal damage. Well, I found very little and No spar damage found. The plywood spice blades took the brunt of twist and hem and haw. All but one of the blades fractured at the point where they merged major assys together. I was most surprised. The socket head screws that kept the joiner blades in their pockets sheared and made removal most time consuming.
I'm still to tackle the fuse but I know it has some firewall damage and gear attach mounts needing to replace. While I'm in the fuse, I'll change the walking beam servo setup to each elevator having it's own servo. I'm stoked as I think this will be ready for Spring. Well, that's my schedule. I'm put the TBF off a while longer.
