Snow and ice weather, I haven't left the house in 2 days.... Some of my Cub work:

Some window finishing tape efforts.

Cleaned up the primary build table, removed the landing gear and generally started prepping for fuse covering.

My original aluminum patch wasn't close to the plans. I'll cut new ones.

I had this pushrod tagged a long time ago. I hit it with a Dremel wheel and cut it. I actually cut to the 4-40 threaded rod inside so not to bad. I wrapped the damage with Hysol and Kevlar thread. I'll stress test it tomorrow.

Elevator control. Central Hobbies cf tube. I have 4-40 threaded rods Hysol bonded inside the rod. Damage was at the threaded rod area. That is a thick wrap of Kevlar thread around tube.
