    Default Flaperons are on the wings

    Glad to have the flaperons mounted. Had slight wing movement that I corrected in one hinge on each wing. I could do another pair better now I know what I'm doing but to redo is better than to have it done wrong. HaHa

    Special thanks to Darrel and Dustin. I appreciate your help.
    Thanks to Susan too. She puts a cleco in most of the holes that I drill.

    I guess the next thing is to get the wings back on the plane so I can complete the rigging then disassemble again and start prepping for covering. I order my covering last week. I still have lots to do before it gets here. Harvest is over so I'm hoping to get more time on the plane.
