Default RE: BVM FJ-2 Fury Build

I was feeling a little under the weather this weekend so I didn't do much work on the Fury. The leading edges was fitted and epoxied onto both flaps. The leading and trailing edges have laser cut holes in them. The holes are used as a guide to route out the foam so 1/2 inch balsa dowels could be epoxied into the wing and flaps. The dowels have slots cut in them at the factory. The hinges slide into the slots. The dowels were epoxied into the flaps and wing making sure the slots line up properly so the hinges would be at the correct position when it is time to glue them in. The main gear flex plate reinforcement pieces were hysoled in place by lining up the predrilled holes. A 4-40 tap was run through the holes. The thread on the 4-40 screws were greased and screwed into the holes to hold the reinforcement piece in place until the hysol sets.
