hinges (continued)

First picture:
All pinned hinges are in the wing.
It takes awhile to cut all those triangles and grooves.
I put oil on the pins before epoxying the hinges.
One side of the hinge first and after it dries, the other side.
After sliding the ailerons and flaps to the wing,
before it dries, I check to make sure the ailerons and flaps move
the distances I want them to. This insure our servos won't be overworked(like us!).
Keep lots of 2"X2" paper towels and alcohal (not that kind!) around to clean up excess epoxy on the plane
(and your fingers): Those finger marks will show up rear good on that mat finish.

Second picture:
The center wing section is cut out for the flap servo.
There's a small bag with a servo tray that I used (in picture).
I used my trusty razor saw.
The outline that is to be cut on the rib is already laser cut but not all the way through.
There's no outline for the sheeting.
I cut to within 1/4" to the next rib.

Third picture:
Here's the dry fit.
Top view.

Fourth picture:
Bottom view.
Looks like we'll be routing all out wires, air lines through this hole.
