Default RE: .60 size Pattern Tiporare Build

Latest status. The inner and outer trailing edges are now in place and blended to the airfoil. The aielerons are made and fitted for the opening. They need to have the control horn dowel installed and tapped for 4-40 thread. The leading edge of the aielerons need chamfering and the hinged to fit the wing.
The wing tips are made, hollowed out and installed on the wing. They are also faired or blended into the airfoil shape. They do need the radius formed at the ends as does the leading edge of the wing. The wings are not joined at this junction in the project.
Not too much more to report at this time. Still awaiting some parts.
