Spent some time preparing the shoulder straps and connecting the tail section...trying to make sure i have the right sections overlapping. I also took the opportunity to connect the trim tab motor and arm to test out the wires. I rigged up a bunch of D cells in series for a 12V battery and was able to figure out which wire was the "TAB UP" (see section 31B-04). It seemed to work fine so I think I'll use it to test other items out as they come up. It now takes up a lot more rom in the garage, but it is looking more plane like.
tail section and shoulder straps clecoed in place
home made 12V test battery...back to 5th grade
Amazing how rigid it is with just the attachment at the center section
