Many thanks for following the build and for your generous comments, KrzysiekK, Juan, Stephen and Rick!
Today I made the steering stick using a new tool - photopolymer glue. I ordered it a few weeks ago from Aliexpress for one USD (well, at that price, why not give it a try, right?). I have to say it is pretty awesome to work with. The glue is thick and holds parts in place, you have basically unlimited time to correct the position. If you need to, you can simply wipe it off and give it another go. Once you are happy with the position, just use the UV lamp and the glue cures within 5 seconds.

The assembly of the steering stick went pretty smoothly:

I also started preparing the yellow/red sandwich for the carved prop, the red styrene comes from a warning sign (bought at a local DIY store), the yellow styrene comes from coffee stirring stick Lufthansa gives to their passengers on board.
The stripes were sanded down to 0,05 mm thickness using this little jig helping me keep constant thickness while sanding.
