Working away on this one and it's helping keep my mind off the other one that sits needing a rebuild
But I've got the top wing well under way. Servo mounts and servos installed, hatches installed, CF tow laid up, and the interwing struts have been cut. The plans for the Challenger II have them parallel (perpendicular to the wing) but they should be canted out, so I've modded the mounts to make them that way. Should look a bit more scale.
Still plenty to do but a few more days at this pace and I'll have the wing and upper ailerons ready for glass. I'm going to get this one into primer, tape the canopy on, and put some tape on to help with orientation and will be doing the maiden before final paint. I may leave out a few other touches before getting the maiden in, just to have time to get her airworthy before FF.
