Wings



I got out in the garage workshop late this afternoon to try and get back in the spirit of airplane construction. During my last session I had gathered up the parts for the pushrods so today I got started on them. I primed the inside of both sets of tubes and let that dry. I decided to wait to prime the outside of the push rods until I finished the installation of the rod ends. Then I measured and drilled the the ends of the bellcrank to aileron pushrods. Then I riveted the ends to the rods. The first one was the learning curve and I wasn't real happy with the way the rivets ended up. but I did a much better job on the second one and I think I can live with the results.
