Attaching the Wings and Control Surfaces

Test fitting the ailerons and flaps.

 

Setting up a front strut.

 

Attached to the fuselage.

 

Fellow Hawk driver Richard Step helped with the right wing. Here's the plane for the first time with both wings installed.

 

The ailerons and their control system is hooked up and working.

 

Now I can flap my wings. Flaps on the Hawk have detents at 15, 30, and 45 degrees.
