All the surfaces are glassed. I will give them a couple days to cure and then they will get blocked out with some 320 grit. I haven't removed the ailerons or elevators as of yet. I figured it would reduce the numbe of parts that I would have to glass and it should keep the control surfaces a better fit when they get hinged. I also fabricated up some wing fences that have tabs that will protrude through the outer surface of the wings tomthe inner surface where these tabs will become the strut mounts. I still have to finish the strut plug and then pull a mold from it. I also felt the need to put some bushings into the fuselage where the upper wing anti rotation pins insert. Right now the CF pins interface with a CF plate, not the best for long life. Problem was I could not find any the correct size. Solution? Make them myself out of fiberglass.
