Week 24 - Rudder, Bell crank covers and Rear wing pin rib

Hours to date: 257

Not much more I can do to the rudder now until it meets up with the fuselage. All seams have been reinforced and the counterweight is in.

The bell crank covers look quite snazy now they have the allen head countersunk screws in place. Flush now with the top of the cover (and the airstream) - unlike the dome head self tappers the factory supplies.

Last job this week was working in a confined space again - flocking in the Rear wing pin rib. Not the neatest of jobs I made there but it is certainly strong enough. (if anything I over flocked!).

I've run out of Flock now so have ordered some more and will be doing the carbon reinforcing of the root rib in the meantime.
