Over this past month and a half, I have finished up with the ailerons and started on the flaps.Ailerons: Flaps - I have the right one completely done. The left is prepped for riveting which will begin this week: The reason for the slowdown is due to money. I don't have a lot of work left on the wings and I haven't ordered the fuselage yet.
