Rigging the flight controls

I had a good time figuring out the rigging of the flight controls.  Would have been nice to have two people doing it, but after a few F bombs and walking back and forth to the cockpit a million and one times, I got the wings level, flaperons level and made a flap handle detent for 0, 5, 10, and 15 degrees.

The Bee looks huge with the tail lifted for level flight!  I do the weight and balance tomorrow and then Saturday I will start her up for the first time.  Next I will be calling the DAR...almost there...

I hope you plan to video the first start up. You're right, with those enormous tires and the tail up that plane looks really big. You should be able to land it anywhere. Good to see the progress.
