Brief Description:  Wings attachment and controls

This part has concerned me for long. What if the wings don't match the fuselage or if the wing struts don't fit the wing attachments? Silly, yes but still. Anyway, and perhaps due to share luck all went very easy but you need 3 pair of hands ( one in each end and one pair to fit the bolts). Apart from drilling the holes in the rear spar there was just a liitle bit of push and twist to get the wings in place. Likewise, the flaps and ailerons fitted very well.

The short jury struts were a bit tricky to install. In particular there is a great risk to scratch the newly painted wing struts when trying to position them perpendicular!! One layer of masking tape is recommended for protection.

All control cables were attached and fitted to the elevator and rudder and adjusted to the correct deflections.
Likewise ailerons and flaps were attached to the wings and their deflections were measured with the icp guide and adjusted to the correct values.
