Left wing framed to plan. After I finish the other side, I plan on sheeting the entire bottom and the leading and trailing edge of the top surface. The flap is thinner than the wing root, and I'll build that up a tad. Use 3/16 stringers IAW Dave Duckett style and will double up on the top side. It did add a lot of strength to the wing frame. |

Pneling the bottom is pretty easy, lay down on a flat sheet and trace the outline from the top side. Cut, glue and add 1/16 reinforcement. The top side is more difficult, I added stringers to the inside of teh ribs to support the balsa sheet. |

The white filler was from a new container and it went on really smooth, much better than my original can, which may have exceeded a shelf life of fifteen years. |

Center section with cut-outs for the air intakes. I was a little off on the port side by one section, measure twice repair once, but thanks to Elmer's wood filler, I filled it in and it is almost perfect. |

Starting to sheet the bottom, need to add stringers on the back of some panels that are large. |
