Did a bit more work today since I am on a roll.
The aileron control linkage sub-assembly is now complete, awaiting a hinged aileron tube to give it something to actuate. Nice to knock out some parts like this that come together quickly and give a sense of accomplishment while making later assembly go quicker as well.
I remember reading another Goat build that switched to torsion rods for the aileron actuation. So far I'm building the stock pull-pull arrangement and will see if it looks okay before making changes.
This photo looks a bit awkward, but shows the attachment of the aileron actuator mechanism sub-assembly into the wing. The attachment to the compression strut just needs to be epoxy and glass and it's ready for installation of the pullies.
One step closer...

Dan, I had to shift the slide tube (and linkages) to the wing tip side of the compression strut. On the root side the aileron pushrod is restricted in the up direction by the wing rear strut when it is attached. cheers Alan
