Thanks Oupa-G! Thanks for the useful advise Mogas. We took out time on the joysticks and all other brass bushes. Had great difficulties getting me hands on a reamer but manage to find a adjustable one! Where the tube bushes are welded on makes it challenging but got it right without sanding the bush...

Ribs done for the tail, dry fitted. Still to fine tune and epoxy.

Dry fit of luggage box. Starting with the second luggage box and should be done in a day or 2. Will put pics on the final luggage box.

Not too keen on leaving these clamps as stoppers for the elevator. Going to remove them and make cable stoppers on the control arms under the seat. Will put a pic of that when done and then take a final decision. As it stands i think i already know what option to go with!
