Steve, Yours is looking good. I just ordered the 60!QUOT! Sullivan push-rods as well. My fuse is in the same stage as yours except that I'm just building the rear control surfaces. Perhaps you could share your thoughts on the tail control surface connections. This is my first aircraft with the scale hinge line made from steel rods. Is the rudder and elevator removable after the fuse is sheeted? The control rod and horn connection onto the hinge rod will be inaccessible once I plank the fuse. That must make these connections permanent and they must be done right the first time. This is a confusing area. Will you finish these control surfaces including the covering before you attach these to the stabilizers? The control arm with a wheel collar on the steel rod does not seam very reliable. I will file a flat spot and maybe even solder the wheel collar onto the rod, but there will be a lot of stress on this little connection. Seems week. Perhaps you could post some detailed pix of this area as you do it? It would be most appreciated. If it helps you, I could take pixs of the wing sections and the fuse connections. I have these areas built and attached, but not sheeted. Thx, Kregg
