Once the glue dried, I realized the “joining” of the ailerons of both high and low wing. To do this, I used a 0.8 mm carbon rod between the 2 ailerons and I used a piece of heat shrink tubing to fix it. It is of course necessary to ensure that the flap of the 2 wings are well neutral.

Then I heated the thermo sheath. Don’t forget to put an aluminum foil to avoid melting the epp. Yes, it happens, it even happened to me on this one, but nothing serious.

The aircraft is weighed once all of the control surfaces are installed. The weight is now of 57 g.
