A little more work completed. Pockets for the aileron and flap horns and the wing is as complete as can be at this stage

Then on to the fuselage. First task is to make a bellcrank for the all moving tailplane. This is from 2mm G10 (yellow) with 1.5mm G10 (black) laminated to create a thick 'bearing' for the pivot. I've used much thicker piano wire than shown on the plan with a view to reducing that waggy tail that is so common on AMT's.
Once the crank is made a 1/16 ply box is constructed to house it all.
