More rigging today. Wires of decreasing diameter. This side's rigging is still not complete. Two rear "drag" wires are need. I had enough "Fun" for today. |

Ailerons on the right side, starboard side, or off side are stitched and mounted. They must be connected. Red star added. I should have "starred" before I stitched!!! Options now... remove stitching and reinstall or install star around stitching. If I can match the red in the star, I can over paint the stitching....if not , the stars stay as they are. |

| The ailerons still need paint. I have to find my stitching or make more. I am multitasking ailerons and rigging. I must begin to address the wing stars. Simple tab hinges made from Al flashing. |

| Fantastic build , John. By what means will you permanently attach the ailerons? |

Listed as the "Starboard" flying wires on the official Sopwith plan. I guess the Sopwith was more formal in direction than the USAF!! |

Flying wires are double and pass thru the tip of the middle wing. On this model they are structural and really lock the wings. |

Flying wires. The factory chart lists their diameter..little over an inch. More like a rod. Similar diameter on the LG and cabane wire. |

| Two days after the Vernal Equinox , I believe. |

| Aha....and Urinal Tube Day is the day after Pitot Tube Day. I'm looking forward to seeing it..... :-) |

Today was Pitot tube day. FYI ...Pitot tube day always falls on the Thursday after ash Wednesday. |

| Ah yes, a gentle zephyr! Not quite what one would expect over the skies of Russia but funny, anyway. |

| I know, but it gives the pilot a gentle zephyr. Thinking about the larger prop as this adventure is winding down. I may laminate some veneer this afternoon to start the prop production. |

| That little prop will never get this thing off the ground! |
