    Looking Great. Since my computer crashed, I lost some photos. Nobody would know the difference if I just used your pics.
    Glad to hear Im not the only one who doesn't like full flaps. Ive heard others state the same previously.

    Awesome Scott. I have a similar pic of my build. We all do right? Fun days. Keep it up.

    Any opinion on this? I used the factory bolts. Seems to violate the 1 thread rule on the rudder pulleys

    I don't think I did any work on the wing while not on the rotisserie after I got the brackets installed. Then again, maybe it was in the rotisserie when I did that as well.

    Update... I am about 6 weeks into this now.

    The wings are close to the same spot now. Butt ribs done, jury struts done, false ribs all done.

    Next is epoxy primer the spars, then LLE, then wingtip fitting, then magnetometer/pitot/OAT, then cover.

    Planning to move things around in the garage and get the fuselage going too.

    Not much to add in the way of exciting images, just the usual moving things along.

    Use thin washers.
