Thanks Goose! Been watching your build too! Learning a lot of good stuff!

Here's wheat I got done yesterday!

I got the flaps final sanded!
Hinged the ailerons (I have to redo one side, as I forgot how to measure). Robart Hinge Points! Boy, those are a little tough to get just right! I started out my using very small drills and using my fingers and eventually getting up to the 1/8" for the hinge itself. I used .200 drill, to created the pocket for the knuckle of the hinge. I also installed some balsa block behind the rear spar for some material the robart hinges.

Slowly but surely! Seems like I got more done than that done, but that took several hours. Tonight, I hope to get flaps hinged and sheet the top of the wing!
