Moving along on the build...

Got the wing joint epoxied up and sheeted.

Fitted the ailerons and had a question that I didn't see addressed in the instructions(that I could see) - this gap:



Should it be wider or is it good? I have a touch of movement on the CA hinges if I need to widen the gap when I glue things up down the road...

I have the tip sanded at this point...



If I should need to widen that gap please comment - can sand off more of the aileron tip.

That CA hinge cutter w/ the guide is very nice! Made short order of the cuts once I got the guide adjusted.

Got the fuselage all glued up. Took some time to run a clean bead inside on every joint edge. The use of the following, highly advanced, not even on the market yet tool made it much easier to do to work the glue into the corners and such...



Easy to apply the Titebond II drop by drop with a toothpick and work it into cracks and push out any air.

Got to the step to start sanding the fuselage so I did a little sanding but pondered where I would mount my landing gear since I am going with a tail dragger setup. From what I've read on RCU... matching up the back edge of the front landing gear piece with the leading edge of the wing is the way to go?



I know I need to add some ply pieces to reinforce the mount and was planning to put a piece on the fuel tank area floor...



Is this the way to go for the front gear?

Got the horizontal stabilizer glued/pinned up tonight.



Still need to glass the wing joint - gotta clean up the seam and sand before I do that though. Think the dremel on med speed should take care of the high spots of epoxy. Gotta pick up some wider glass tomorrow.

Total build time: 40 hours
