Normally the work on the wings begins with the building of some support structures to work on the spar. As this would mean to reorganize the workshop, I've decided to first build the control surfaces : ailerons and flaps. I took all the parts out of storage and put in order all the smaller parts.

One little hour of work to touch up with some primer the areas that had to be cut and filed yesterday. All the parts are now in storage, fiberglass work in the tips is delayed.

Today I assembled the elevator and the horizontal stab. This needs some tweaks as the skins and the rear spar have to be grinded (as per plans) to allow full flight control travel.



Then the control horns are to be match drilled so they can be bolted together via the center bearing. This went quite well.



TO finish the empennage the composite wingtips need to be adjusted and the trim servo motor fine tuned.

This morning I assembled the trim tab and the left elevator. First the alignment is to be checked, then the elevator side of the hinge is drilled and to finish everything is riveted together.



Then the leading edges get rolled. The skins are thicker than those of the rudder, a little manual help is needed to get a correct shape.



I ended the day by installing the trim tab servo, as all the builders before me, I had to file the edges of the hole to get it into position.

Left elevator riveting, secondary spar and trim tab will be fixed next.
