Basic fuselage pretty well done. Wings under way. $ ribs and a 1/8 inch leading edge are pretty light, so I sutci in the diagonals for a bit more strength. Starting to apply stringers. Scratched a center rib for each wing and glued it at an angle

which will give the proper dihedral when cemented together. Thanks to Ted Richards for sending a good copy of he plans. It may actually fir together now.

That's not a lot of ribs for a 22" wingspan. How are you going to cover the wings? Fuse looks great!

You are right. It's really thin too, so my original thought of sheeting with 1/32" birch plywood won't work. I'm planning on infilling. I'm running stringers now. It should work and also strengthen the leading and trailing edges. I'm beginning to think I didn't think this out very well, but it's gonna go! :)
