Wing sheeting




Starting on the top, the sheets were cut out, glued and pinned down. Had to do some sanding on the ribs, due to the sheets didnt fit down into the fuselage as it should. Got do to some extra sanding here and there



Cut the hole for the servo seat. Plenty of room here for it



Then epoxied the two rear centers holding the wire and tube for the ailerons. Made sure that i didnt use too much epoxy this time, so the wire moves smooth.



Wing sheeting all done. Got to hinge the ailerons, add the wingtips and sand it all. At the last leg of wing construction, and in need of an engine to continue. Money for it next week, hopefully. The O.S 46AX cost like $150 over here, but what the heck. Importing one comes with extra tax and cargo expensive, so I guess the price is ok all things considered.
