Major progress!
Gespatch turnbuckles showed in and I was able to get going again.
First I had to prep the top wing, stuck the EZ Line down the holes in the wings for aileron lines. Just looped them in and will cut them when ready to attach to the lines coming out of the fuselage.
Rigged turnbuckles on the aileron control lines, WnW does not call for this but it's clear in several pictures that there were turnbuckles here and at the control horn on the ailerons.
I don't like how the .5mm brass pipe sticks out so I drew on some patience and started tying simple slip knots and securing it with a touch of CA, a lil' dab will do ya..
Used Scale Hardware slotted screw on one end of the turnbuckle, that will attach to the control horn.
PLEASE, someone out there make some brass control horns!! Already broke on, drilling it out makes them way too weak.
Here's that assembly on the control horn. that port though the elevator does not allow for drilling out as it's at a very low angle to the passthru port on the other side. So just a touch of CA in the port and drop the EZ line in there, luckily EZ line responds well with CA.
Mating Time!
VERY snug fit, I installed all the strut just dry fitted at first, figure it would give me some wiggle room, really didn't need it, with the exception of the rear canebrake support, all struts were very well positioned. when I got the top wing in place, I could even pick it up by the wing without it falling apart. Kudos to WnW for that! Yes that's a broken strut back there, came out of the box like that. Already fixed.
Rudder added...
Not really sharkmouth but it makes the point..could not get the decals to line up exact, will have to touch that up a bit.
Hopefully today I'll have wheels installed!
Whacha think?
