Default RE: 130 Flaps

Overall the construction is ok. I am getting down to the nuts and bolts of attaching the wing to the body. I ran the cable and such through the wing; Am fiberglassing it in the next day or two; the hor. stad is finished but not attached; and I am getting a headache thinking about keeping it all straight. I have almost finished cutting out the ailerons, but am trying to figure out the engineering behind attaching them... you know... making them look "Pur-T"... as they say here in MS. I am at a point where another large chunk of money is needed for the JETT fuel tanks and all of the electronics, so that may put a damper on things till I can get some mileage money rounded up.

Any tips on painting the windows in the front? Are the windows on the plans good? Did you guys use them as trim?
