12/05/2013 - A little warmer...by about 1 degree !!!!

Time to take the wings off now.  I made sure I marked the flaps for filing before painting but that little job is on the back burner for now.  I also finished the holes for the flaps but did not take a photo, doh!  Time to move onto the tail attachment work.  The tail, trim and wings can all be painted together
 

Another list

I took the port elevator off the stabiliser and using my pre-ordered drill bushing I could drill the first hole.  Actually it did not go to well as the pilot hole was to close to the weldment.  I adjusted the elevator giving a little more gap and now on the edge of tolerance.  Drilling a second pilot hole meant I had to be just in the right position so when the hole enlarge it would engulf the original pilot hole. Talk about stress !!  Still after about 2 hours of fiddling it was done and the hole was good. Same with the second eleevtaor.

Miraculously this piece of hard wood cut off from when originally building the empennage fit like a glove which will keep the drill straight when drilling the push rod attach point on the elevator horns
