also need filler block to cover torque rods

The ailerons would go right out to the end of the wing jack. You could have done it either way, having the wingtip enclose the ailerons, but since the wingtip blocks are already installed and shaped, the ailerons will be full length. It'll make no difference in flying.

just groove the blocks to allow the pieces to cover the torque rods, gluing carefully so as not to bind the torque rods with glue.

Likewise additional notches in the rear blocks at the horn location.

I think the holes are oversize, Roll Eyes

but the horns have plenty of movement.

I'm pretty well stuck now on the wings till I get the fuse built now, as there are some molding to the fuse that has to be done prior to covering. Cool

ultacote white ordered and on the way as well as the thunderbirds decal
sheets.
Actually was at Nellis AFB a few years back and got to see them perform practice on the flight-Line... Silly Aviator

Al, Should I start the firewall without receiving the engine yet, I think it might be handy to have it in the engine mount prior to drilling the firewall? Huh

The Evo .46NX should be here soon...

There is a note recommending checking the motor first...it fact there are a lot of notes Undecided

The only other thing to consider is the distance the muffler is off the engine. Wouldn't want the muffler into the side of the airplane. You may be better off waiting for the power plant to arrive.

I'm thinking this should not be flush with the skin because when you put the wing on something needs to fit in there anyone have a Kouger handy?

Glued against the ply doubler. I thinks. It's only been 20 plus years since I built one. The old hard drive is a bit fuzzy.
