Then riveted everything together and called it done. Okay, so before I did that I had to adjust the tubing bends a little, but you get what I mean  .
Tomorrow the control rods! |
Glenn... I have no idea what you are talking about... Are you talking about the trailing edge? The cutout in the center section of the upper wing?
Maybe a picture would help...
