Well, I seem to be losing all patience as I get older. Although the plane is now a snap to assemble at the field with the nuts soldered to the brackets, putting all those little 4-40 washers on the bolts everytime was starting to drive me crazy, not to mention that the washers seem to want to stick to the painted struts on dis-assembly. So I've now soldered all the washers to the bolts so there's absolutely no fumbling around. Can't think of much else to do except maybe design a folding attach point for the N-struts to make it easier to transport with the struts still attached to one wing. Will let you know what I come up with.
