Right inner wing and canopy finished

Finished riveting the skin on the right inner wing.


Then finished the canopy. Used some 1 and 2 mm rubber sheets and cut out pads to be able to fine trim the canopy glass onto the frame. The handle also works OK, could be smoother, but I think that requires a different design. I also found a small crack that I didn't see when the plastic was on. Just stop drilled it, but have to find out how to fix it properly later.

Ready to rivet on the wing skins

Riveted on all the brackets for the wires. Used m4 A4 bolts and loctite to fasten the clamps. Then I got into problem with the aileron pushrod. The hole in the wing is not at the right place. I had to widen it a few mm to prevent interference. I also had to trim the paddle a tiny bit to prevent interference with the ball joint.
