- The braces and brackets returned today
So
started work on riveting the brackets together. Now I
stormed on again and I am going to have stop that because some of
rivets were flush so I to drill a couple out !!! Anyway
after reading plans properly they were riveted together.
The braces went on easily as
well, no dramas.
The push rods had also
returned brightly powder coated, with the smaller push rod has had
the rod ends tig welded on. They look smashing, Bob went
crazy with colour and they look a treat in the wing, being powder
coated and not just sprayed.

There was just enough time to finish off all the
skeletons for the ailerons. Looks like I will have to drill
the rib rivets out of the first one I did the other week though,
doh. Leaving that for another day.

Signing off now, getting close to that inspection,
but going to rivet the ribs and rear spar for the left wing before
that. Then need to touch up where I have marked the paint,
torgue seal some bolts and I am about there.
