Due to the curvature of the bottom of the ribs, the aileron spar must also be blocked up. |

| David Duckett | Cleveland de Havilland Mosquito | Build | 09-Mar-14 05:47 |  | | Views : 509 | | The plans say to block up the leading and trailing edges but do not say how much. I pinned the front spar in place and then set the outer, inner, and middle ribs in place. THe leading and trailing edges were then set in place using the ribs as guides. The leading edge is 1/4" x 1/2", spars and trailing edge are 1/8" stock, and the aileron spar is 3/16" stock. |

| David Duckett | Cleveland de Havilland Mosquito | Build | 06-Mar-14 05:14 |  | | Views : 482 | | I plan to have the wheel wells open to some degree and that will mean removing lots of wood once the landing gear doors are fabricated. No specific ideas are in place yet but I find it helps to think about the tasks ahead without formulating a particular plan. Sometimes the solution will suddenly seem clear as a day in Arizona. |
