Brief Description:  Installed control tubes

Installed control rods in the center fuselage. What a pain. Trying to get the spacing washers in place is almost impossible. Thank heavens I purchased the washer holder earlier. Without it, I can't imagine how you would get the washers in place. Unlike some others, I had no problem getting the center control rod in place (I did remove the end bearings).

Primed the spar side covers. Planned (remembered?!) some wiring issues.

Also finally lowered the saw horses that support the fuselage. Why I made them so high, I can't imagine. I was always straining to get into the cockpit. It forced me to climb into the fuselage, which has ended up my bending some of the floor panels. Nothing serious.

Have decied to purchase a(nother) Affordable Panel from Fabian Lefler. This one will be custom to allow for the switches to be mounted in the lower frame; this will allow them to remain in place when I remove the left panel. And the total panel height will remain the same (I can't give up any more knee room.)
