Ive got one more tierod to fit which will go directly in the centre of the splitter, this will mean I have 5 tierods connected to the splitter and the canards are connected to the splitter with endfences

Well im not really sure how long it will last but ive bought it to last me short term so I can get the engine up and running so I can at least get it mobile, if it lasts a while then great news, if not ill put some money aside for a garrett.
Fitted the larger of my rear wings today, took a fair bit of thinking and calculating so that i can choose the right levels of AOA to make sure it works properly, but all works now and can move from 5-18 degrees.
Just waiting on my large end plates for the wing then I can add a upper element to finish it off.
I can put my full weight on 1 of the pylons(108kg) and no movement which is a good sign.
I know there has been a worry about it flexing from side to side, so the next job will be to cross brace them together, im thinking tiebars but not 100% yet.
Also ive taken doors off to have them moulded in kevlar should have them about the 12th of october,
worked out that using kevlar doors with polycarb windows and small mirrors it should save around 13kg for door, so 26kg saving total which should cover for all the extra weight ive added with aero and turbocharging.
