When I stored the bags from wing inventory in their individual bins, I also wrote the part number and quantity of each part on the outside of each bin. This has really helped me to locate parts like these crank spacers.

The instructions don't really say when to tighten the individual connections on these parts, so I had to project my mind into the future and determine on my own which parts are OK to tighten now. On the parts that I don't tighten now, I make a note to myself in my log of "things to do later".

The markings I made on this tool will help me position the aileron in the neutral position tomorrow.
