Looking good. Interesting coincidence that the same day you post about having to sheet your trailing edges, I was doing the same thing today. My ailerons are too thin to get by with sanding down the wing t.e. so I'm having to enlarge them as well. [:@]
Mine were marginal (within 1/32"). By the time I bevel the l/e of the ailerons and sand the t/e, the differential will not be significant, but the other t/e pieces were considerably thinner than the ailerons, so something additional needed to be added. I still haven't decided if I'm going to run the ailerons clear out to the end of the wing-tip or stop then just short and form the tip to the rear edge of the control surface. I'm leaning toward the latter, but that may change by the time I get there...

Are you planning to use the 2.5" fiberglass tape that came in the kit for the wing center section? I'm torn between using the 2.5 or going with 4" to span the fuselage width.
No, that was also something suggested in the modification article. I'll definitely be glassing the full width of the fuse.
I also started looking at the engine mount. My original thoughts were to side-mount it, but after seeing the cowl article posted in the other tiger thread, I may invert it completely. It could be a cleaner installation, but I'm not sure about exposing the engine to potential nose-over damage. (But then, I fly off grass, so it would probably be minimal if any should it actually happen. It would also definitely require lowering the fuel tank as well.
