    Scale Nelitz 1/3 scale Cub build

    I think the bolts will have to come from the other side. Hoping I can make the top window an access panel and I could come from the front side but it doesn't look like I can. Mounting bracket will be fine with a bolt/ screw(s).

    Sanded the 4-40 wing retainer bolts to a point. They slip into the backside of the bracket easily now.

    Scale Nelitz 1/3 scale Cub build

    Ran a temporary 2-56 bolt through the main spar bracket, tightened with a nut and fitted the wings solidly for the first time. Just a tremendous feeling to get to this stage. I will leave the bracket temporarily bolted only as I work my way through this stage of the build. Test...

    Scale Nelitz 1/3 scale Cub build

    More trial and error. Test run on screwing main bracket to frame. Already snapped a sheet metal screw testing elsewhere then did it again testing on the fuse. Vey fortunate to back that broken screw out. Hard to see in the photo.

    Lots of trial and error today. Practice run on soldering 4-40 nut on main bracket. Easy on the solder, had to retap the nut after getting a little loose with the solder.

    Scale Nelitz 1/3 scale Cub build
