The work continues....
The wing to fuselage connection is finished and hopefully straight in all axes, and with the correct incidence... Now it`s just several evenings of sanding and filling, before final paint can be applied.
I`ve also made the centering pins for the wings and cut the hingelines. The hingeline was done with a long steelruler taped to the wingpanel, and cut using a Dremel with a cut off disk by freehand. Hinges and cutline turned out great! I also discovered another of those prototype OPS!!... The spar forward of the aileron was a bit too far back towards the aileron hingeline. I didn`t take enough headroom for the carbon sock being more compressed towards the tip... This leads to just a small amount of room for the gapseal, about 3mm. Probably cost me 2% in drag, or a bit decreased aileron throw. No biggie..
Documentation starts December 2008.....
