Tonight I installed the stick bases into the fuselage, then the sticks, and then adjusted the travel and spacing to finish the stick rigging steps. The access was a little tight for these components, but not as bad as I feared. The most time consuming part was carefully sanding and filing the stick stops so that both sticks contacted the stops simultaneously, both fore and aft. I used a small file, and some strips of Emory cloth, to carefully and gradually adjust the stops until both sticks were touching the stops at the same time. Both were right in the middle of the acceptable range of travel. It feels good to have gotten this far! One more chapter and then I’m done with the fuselage kit!
You’re really getting on with it now Neal
Looking great
