but at least they are consecutive HA!

Here in Southeast Alaska.
Late April -Late October.

2020 was brutal for flying weather. We had 24 days without precipitation in the calendar year. Brutal. I’m just about every flying video I made on my channel had some sort of rain in it except a couple.

Cut out the wing servo bays and put the trim on today.

Hey, to have a cool name like AKNick you got to sacrifice something!

Aileron point hinges glued in place.

painted my wing strut mounts Rustoleum deep blue 2x (x2)

Glued my flap hinge points. They were a bit tricky to get aligned but utilizing some scrap ply to keep the flap flush with the lower wing it all worked out. Did each flap separately to maximize my 30min pot life.

Ok is it flying yet. Everything seems to be done.

 

[AKNick]

Oh if only! Gotta get my tail done, mount the engine, cut the cowl, fit the plastic parts... paint.... Light system.... GEAR!?!?!?

Managed to sneak in some pre-wiring for my wing servos.

Made a little shim to square up my horizontal. It was still a tiny bit off. Then marked the area to remove the covering for it to be glue

Pictures are not uploading... hmmm

You still have a couple weeks before the flying season really gets going.

 

[AKNick]

Put my flap trim on.


Still only allowing three pics at a time...
