Added cotter pins to the control cable supporting rollers.
Attached the elevator top and bottom control cables. Safety pins installed.
Set the right wing trailing edge. Pay special attention to the angle supporting the fuel tank from behind. I quite forgot about it.
When installed the trailing edges on the left wing the inbound trailing edge had a higher angle of attack than the outbound trailing edge. I removed the trailing edges and tried again to check may be it was the installation error. In the end it turned out the inbound trailing edges on both wings have higher angle of attack than the outbound trailing edges. I am not sure if it is my error or a great airplane design. At least it looks right. If the outbound trailing edges had a higher angle of attack I would be worried.
Tried to align the flapperons.
