According the original blueprints the control wires are all spliced. With the given narrow spacing between the wires this leads to the wires contacting each
With the last control rods installed the elevon controls in the fuselage are complete.
Two more control rods were finished and installed. The tubing dimension of 15.0 x 2.0mm in the required quality is no longer available . It
