Super Dimona

When I wasn't running the string trimmer or messing around outside in the sunshine, I worked on the Super Dimona.  I have the new prop and spinner installed and it folds nicely along the cowling.  I trimmed the canopy interior and it is ready to have the canopy installed.
Since I had to make that cut out near the center of the wing to fix the rod tube, I decided to install the spoilers I had.  The black line is one of the carbon fiber rods I put in to reinforce the main spar.
This is the box I made to house the spoiler and the spoiler with the blade extended.
Here is the spoiler retracted and sitting in the box.  A piece of balsa mounts to the blade (the part with holes in it) and is sanded to match the airfoil.  I glued the box in before quitting for the night and left it to dry.
