Default RE: Nitro 90" (1/7 scale)P-38J Build with mods

More progress on my wing separation. I made plates and plywood inserts (3/16 ply) for the 1/4-20 blind nuts in the outboard sections. These have been glued in place. I first taped around the wing with 2" blue tape. After the epoxy dried, I could sand this flush without damaging the covering. Then I remove the tape and you can see the results. The flap servo was relocated and ply backer added it the new location before the end cap was glued on. I will now drill a small hole for the servo leads and that just leaves the installation of anti-rotation pins. These will be CF rod (male) in the outboard panel, and an aluminum tube (female) in the root.
