Over the past two weeks I have been getting the wings on the fuselage. That is finally finished, flaps on and wired except for the trim. For any one interested, I suggest that the flaps and ailerons not be drilled until the wings is trimmed and bolted on. It was very hard to get the flaps on past the already riveted ailerons and getting every thing adjusted. The other issue is the flap torque tube. I drilled my bolts on the tube as per the manual and it would be much better to drill the left side only, then you can crawl up inside the fuselage after the flaps are on to drill the right side of the tube to get the correct flap angle.

What's left to do?
Wire the roll trim
Bolt on the rudder
Run the cables for ailerons
Get the engine running again
Check over the FAA inspection list.
