Status: offline 		that looks nice Craig. Good to see that the little trojan has been removed from this thread, hope that have found out who the little toe rag is who was doing it.

Status: offline 		Yes that was kind of wierd the writing in lieu of pictures
Anyway, glassed the top of the wings this evening, and placed them on the fuselage until they are cured, which will allow the leading edge overlap to dry without being disturbed. Still need a little bit of sanding on the flap outer edges to ensure they a parallel with each other before they are glassed.

Status: offline 		Spent the evening working on the linkage for the flaps, in particular the setup for the outer wing panel. The final linkage will need to be done after the model is finished, however I can roughly clean out what is needed for the flaps to work properly.
I needed to remove some portions of the wing root plywood and melted out the foam. The flap control rod for the outer wing panel travels on the outside of the wing join, so the relief needs to be cut onto the wing panel. I have lots of movement and there is no binding with the servo's.

Status: offline 		Still plugging away on the flaps and ailerons. Wing has been painted and sanded a few times, and most of the weave is filled in. Still have a few pin holes, but it is good for now. Still need to shore up the ends of the outer flaps, and glass the flaps when that is done. I also plan on cutting out the boost tab and trim tab for the aileron, glass those parts and fabric cover the remainder of the aileron. Then glue the tabs onto the aileron before final painting.
