The Wing

Micro servo mounted in one wing.  Control horn and rod installed.  Cover pulled aside for now.


With servo cover installed.  Wing section ready for joining with other sections.
Before joining, the ends were cleaned free from covering to ensure a good bond.
Aluminum wing struts are inserted into the wing end section.  Servo wires are threaded through the wing, soldered and shrink wrapped to the servo extension wires in the center wing section.  CA was applied to the exposed wing rib and the sections pressed together. 
The result of two wing ends and center section joined together.  72" wing span ready for motor and landing gear.  Next step - prep for finish work.  I need to fill in the crack between sections with a light weight spackle and get the wing ready for covering with aluminum tape.
