Ready to mount port wing

Port wing (minus flaperon) is ready to mount. Awaiting my extra hands Grandson to get it done.
I did note a problem with positioning the flaperon cable through the fabric of the stb wing. Folding the wing back exerts a rearward pressure on the cable/grommet which ripped the fabric about 1.5". I will have to repair the fabric and relocate the position of the flaperon cable pass-thru.
Another lesson learned so I won't make the same mistake on the port wing.
