The hinges. Had a heck of a time with the aileron hinges on the first wing panel. Mainly because I don't know what I'm doing!!
I had to cut new g10 hinges from old pilot arf kits to make it work. The hinges have a g10 piece that is to be put behind a lite ply strip that is glued to to trailing edge of the wing first. The hinges have a shoulder that is to sit behind the ply at the right distance. This is where I screwed up. I pushed the lite ply a little to hard into the foam and misaligned the hinges to the matching hinge points on the ailerons. It has to be straight. After I glued my new hinges in I used a steel bar of the right diameter to hold the hinges in place to dry.
After I finally had the hinges in I started placing where the aileron servos had to go. Used the demmal to cut into the foam I have made the plates for the servos to sit in and that will go on before sheeting.

First wing done 
All the sanding was worth it! Turned out very good. I'm happy! Still have the final cutting of lightening cut outs to do but that will wait till I have the second wing at the same stage. It is not an easy kit for me to build, I guess I am more used to traditional builds of a lot more balsa and a lot less foam.But learning all the time with this build.
