TONIGHT'S UPDATE . . .

Window decals cut out by hand on Coverite and ironed on.

Switch harness installed on left side of fuselage, opposite of muffler side.

5/16"x5 1/2" dowels glued in place with thin CA (protruding 1" from each side) and painted white.

Hinges permanently glued in place on elevator and rudder. Made the mistake of NOT waiting 3 - 5 minutes before flexing the hinges and pulled some covering off the hinge area. Had to rip the pulled covering off and painted over the boo-boo [X(]. Hope it looks OK when finished.

Engine permanently installed.


Had to remove the wing saddle foam tape as it was raising the back of the wing and causing it to be able to slide back. Is it alright to mount the wing without foam tape on the saddle area? If the tape is needed how do I install it without lifting the back of the wing and causing the wing to slide back?
