Yesterday I completed installation of the aileron trim. First, I removed the aileron pushrod from the wing after marking center position of the trim arm, and riveted on the brackets to hold the trim springs. Then I re-installed the pushrod and attached the springs to the arm on the trim assembly. This was much harder than I expected: the springs are very taut and the space to work in is TIGHT - it helped to remove the assembly from the wing access plate.
I also prepped the bottom wing skin after cutting/deburring and match-drilling the j-channel stiffener: both are ready for priming. Waiting for some better weather to get to that. Once done, all that's left of the right wing is wingtip installation and nav/strobe lights.
While waiting, I've started prepping parts that will be used in my next big phase which will be joining fuselage and tailcone.
