Finishing Wing Attach

There are several more steps to finish mating the wings to the fuselage. Here's the fuel tank attachment. Paula wasn't thrilled to hear why one of the brackets was slotted instead of there being a hole. It's so the fuel tank can break away if you're crashing and hit something.




I also got the right flap operating. Here's a little video. I made the handheld flap switch so I could lie under the fuselage and move the flap up and down to check for clearance and file the opening for the pushrod. The toggle switch is the one that will go in the airplane but the angle with "FLAPS - UP DN" is just scrap with a hole drilled in it to temporarly mount the switch.
