Keep the distance between the end of the wood and the Z bend as short as possible, or you could get flex in that steel rod

@billscottni , good advice, thanks
AndyB:
Got the wings covered in black, not the greatest of finishes, but functionally fine. Bonded in the horizontal stabilizer, balanced the wings, port was heavier than starboard.
Did center of gravity, although measure for cog is 60 to 68 from LE, I took it at 64. Also made the suggested changes to my ghetto pushrod, thanks Bill.
All I need now is some fair winds and hopefully my leg is ready for some cross field trecking for the recovery. :-X
billscottni:
Looks good. If we EVER get any sunshine, cover the wings when it's on the ground they'll get warm! There's a good reason so many full size are white ;)
AndyB:
:-X It seems I have made a poor choice in wing covering colour. Anyway, if we get some sun it might iron out the defects in my covering.
