| I reengineered the aileron linkage, Made some modifications to the fuselage and reinstalled. The linkage works similar to the original. The control rods attach the ailerons to a toggle crank below the floor in the cockpit. Now if I lift one aileron the opposite side goes down. For those of you accustomed to the install of control surface mechanics this may seem trivial but for me this is a major accomplishment. Who knows maybe someday I will build a plane to fly and crash! |

| I have used enough expletives for one day. The port side is rigged and the port aileron control rods are connected. “Stretch Magic” black necklace chord works marvelously. |

| With the pungent aroma of cross linking epoxy molecules wafting thru the workshop atmosphere, Nunzio acquires his permanent air foils. |

| Prior to the permanent air foil assembly, 44 anchor eyes were attached to the wings and struts in preparation for tomorrow's rigging adventure. |
