Well, time to come back to an old thread. I have been working off and on on the Laser and been making some progress. I have come to the conclusion that this is probably the last second hand kit I will ever buy. I seem to have a different level of expectations when it comes to building than some even so called experienced builders. But I digress.

Apparently as I was fixing the issues with the wings I didn't pay close enough attention and I put the servo pockets on the wrong side of the wing. I didn't notice until I went to test fit both wings later. Very annoying, but I spent an evening pulling up the sheeting and putting the pockets on the correct side of both wings. With that done, I test fit the servos and made the aileron pushrods. The rods are 3/16 carbon fiber with ends from connectorsrc.com. I used JB weld to attach the ends.

The blocks and threads for the wing bolts are in place. I used 1/4" threaded inserts front and back and glue 3/8" blocks into the wing root. Towards the trailing edge you can see the guide tube for the wing incidence adjusters. I took a page from the pattern guys and got a set from Central Hobbies. It will give me much more flexibility in trimming the plane. The adjusters themselves mount to the side, behind the radio bay. Not the easiest place to get to, but it is at least accessible. Since the wing incidence is adjustable, the holes in the fuse through which the wing nuts pass have to be routed out to allows the wing nuts to move up and down. In the last picture, the port side mount has been elongated, but I haven't gotten to the starboard one yet.

With that, the wings are effectively complete. I haven't run the final servo extensions yet, but all the mechanical and building parts are complete.
