Got both aileron hinge pin bearings bonded into the wing, plus reinforcing of the ailerons in the horn and counterweight areas.
Both fuel tanks are now bonded in and I am preparing the parts that will be fitted to them.
The fuel caps come in a lovely anodised red which must be taken off completely where they will be bonded with flock to the wing and tank. Let the Dremel be your friend here! Finish with a corse grade sandpaper to give it a good key. This will be crucial to have fuel tight tanks when done. The black tape in the photos is just to protect the anodised surface that remains after sanding.
Going to buy some hole saws this weekend so may start the cutting of holes for the fuel caps and drains if I'm in the mood.
