Another small step

But a big one in terms of getting MYRO back flying. I took the aileron and wing trailing edge over to Stoke this morning for Chris to cast his eye over them and he gave them the go-ahead. Chris is definitely no push-over, so it was good news when he gave them the nod. I took a little bit of time out this afternoon and as a result I was able to get the little tear in the aileron cover caused by the accident patched and the cover back on. Here’s a pic I grabbed just before the sun went down this evening.

You can see the little repair, on the top surface adjacent to the hinge (the hangar rash on the tip was there already but I thought I might as well do that at the same time while I was about it). The aileron is therefore complete and ready for service. If the weather is fine tomorrow afternoon and it’s not too busy, I’m thinking about going over to Ken’s and re-assembling MYRO’s left wing. If I was able to do that and bring the rear fuselage cover back with me I could well have MYRO all back together again this coming week-end. As always, it all depends on how the weather turns out this week and it’s forecast to be fine every day but quite breezy . It’s a nice target to aim for though 🙂
