Over the last few days I've been adding the finishing tapes to the fuselage. The rivets for the top surface arrived in the post yesterday so they were inserted and the finishing tapes stuck in place over them. Then the finishing tapes along the join between the fuselage sides and bottom were applied. This was fairly messy laying on the ground and gluing over my head - the glue doesn't wash out of your hair but you can pick it off bit by bit. Finally the tape over the rudder post was applied.The other little job completed was the bit of rework on the counterbalance on the left aileron. This was slightly out of alignment with the aileron and would have stood proud above the wing surface with the aileron in neutral position. So this was cut off the aileron spar and re-welded in the correct position.
Next job is to prime the aileron and flaps ready for covering them. The weather in the UK should be good for another couple of days so hopefully I will be able to get this done soon.
