I'm thinking ahead a little bit to trying a foam core wing (got 'em on order...). The trip through the archives has been interesting. Can you give me a brief description of the assembly sequence? Is it skin the wings first, then join the halves, then insert in the fuselage, then install the bell crank/control system??? With the bellcrank pivot held in place by plywood supports on the outside of the wing skin and in between the fuselage sides It isn't obvious to me how you get the control system in...

Skin the wing, then install the bellcrank and pushrod, then join the wing panels. Installing the bellcrank after joining the panels would be a bit difficult.

You cut a clearance for the belcrank,(on the foam between the cores) and two,holes on the top for the axis.
