The last thing I need to do before the wings are removed is to install the jury struts. All was going well until I realized that the mounting holes were drilled in the wrong place. Oops, the plan is to weld the holes in and redrill. They are stainless so I am having a friend do the job for me.

This is where the bracket is mounted on the rear spar. Hopefully I can finish this part in the next few days.

I went ahead and installed the fuel tanks.

To keep the build moving forward I worked on a few small chores. One is to apply Super-fil to the triangle window frames and door frames. The idea is to smooth them out to make the fabric seamless.

I also temporarily put the horizontal and elevator on to adjust the push/pull tubes. Once that was completed the trim actuator was adjusted.

Next up was to install the trim position indicator sensor. This pick shows the tip of the sensor resting on the arm.

Here is the arm bonded in place.

I was going to install the Trim Assist Kit but the incorrect bracket was supplied with the kit. Sent email to Kitfox.
