All the flying surfaces are now hinged,
I am going to install the wing mounting blocks in the fuse and close up the foreward bottom section of the fuse. There is ample room to install the tank and set-up the throttle linkage through the wing saddle. I have alot of work remaining, I need to add the wing saddle fillet and fillets at the tail feathers. Once this is complete I can give the plane a final sanding and a coat of sanding sealer in preperation for covering.
I am not going to use the wheel pants that came with the kit, I have a set from another plane that are a little more streamlined and should look very good on the plane.
Here are a couple pics of the plane dry fitted together standing on it's legs!!
