Lots of work, one wing was pretty much done , the other had most ribs still missing, so starting Monday I had to wrap all the ribs with craft paper so the thinner wouldn't get to them. Tuesday I painted the fuselage, the struts, the pedals. Wednesday off, had to fly to paracas, Thursday finishing up painting details.
Friday, a friend from Miami Fl, sent me 3 rolls of fiberglass threaded tape (the same that came with the kit) and 3M aluminum tape. With this we where ready to assemble the rest of the ribs and get ready for 1st full assembly.
The flight club on Sunday's is usually quite busy, so we did not made a lot of work, but we managed to put the plane together with the wings finally ready. (also had an awesome meal cooked for all by our latest student to solo. )
Tomorrow we will install the flaps and place the ailerons up with soft rivets so we can measure all control cables. (probably install the pedals and the seat too)
