I think all is working again now. Please leave a comment on a photo somewhere if something you need is not working still.

Good thinking.

Note: only had this problem on 2 wing ribs.
Anders, Image # 2783508 Nov 12 09:04

After sanding the leading edge and trailing edge i found that i had the problem noted by Mr Wilson. add balsa and sand down to shape
Anders, Image # 2783408 Nov 12 09:01

this part should add strenght and stabillity to the wing vhere the aileron are cut out.
Anders, Image # 2783308 Nov 12 08:59

started work on the ailerons, making parts first and then drawing them on the plan

Thank you for the tip, but my plan was to sand the leading and trailing edge to shape. I use 2,5 millimeter balsa sheet, and that is a bit to work with. Glad my Build interest other builders, and all hints and tips are of good help!

make sure the `rib fronts` and the `rib backs` touch the edge of the wing. that would be a challenge freehanding the ribs. youu`re going to have to come up with a better way. I look forward to seeing your progress. :)

needs to be sanded, and then ill cut out the control surfaces. I think im going to use coffe filter for hinges

test fitting of vertical fins
Anders, Image # 2780306 Nov 12 17:12

both wings built, i like the way it looks

Progress on the wing, the wing ribs turned out good after a little sanding. Going to build the wings and fuselage to se how it fits together and find out what needs to be changed.

i think i might have to find another way to make the wing ribs, not sure if free hand drawing them was a good idea..
Anders, Image # 2777204 Nov 12 16:38

started construction of wings to see if i need to change anything on the plan

found pictures using google. fuselage formers are drawn from a 3 side pic with sections of fuselage and wing shown. but the airfoils are hand drawn by me, only the one nearest the wing tip are finished. a lot of challenges here as this is my first plan i have ever tried to make!

Sig manufacturing was the only kit I ever found for this "flying pencil" build. On ebay years ago, but would not fit the budget. Many scale versions in plastic for the cheap but I stopped plastic builds long ago. Anxious to follow this build.
