Bad weather means more building time!
Covering completed.
Need to do:
1- fish wires through the wing for aileron servos
2- glue/epoxy the fin/stab
3- remove green tape
4- glue aileron hinges.
5- make pushrods for elevator, rudder and ailerons.
6- perform mandatory basement taxi test.

I just had to do taxi tests as per the challenge/request from @Frank v B .

Elevator and rudder need to be installed/epoxied in place. No aileron functions yet, but the servos are temporarily installed.

These 1964 decals were very brittle and difficult to place.
They still add a bit of flair.

Simple task: locate 2 identical control horns for ailerons (done) and 2 more for elevator and rudder...  :-X
Preferably all 4 should be the same, but...
