Could be a bit of a sod if you find you need to change anything when you build the first wing! ;)

Well i have started the wing today.
so far all the ribs i pre-cut have fitted perfectly :P
i had to roll the leading edge slightly so it would match the curve of the ribs for gluing.

when my lite ply turns up i can make thee dihedral braces and run the servo wires ready for the top sheeting to go on.

well today i made the dihedral braces and glued the two wing halves together.

File Attachment:


then i sheeted the top of the wing with some 3mm Depron.

File Attachment:


need to do the tips and ailerons next and then it can be covered and painted.
that just leaves battery box, u/c, final fuselage sheeting and the motor/esc.
nearly done ready for crashing.

Very nice Tony. How are the DD and the high wing job coming along ? BTW Tony did you get a big cardboard box yet? It can make a spray booth. If it is big/deep enough it will contain 99% Of the spray
