| That idiot travels fast. He broke 4 or 5 stringers on my DHC-2 wings too. |

| Thanks Sky. I learned a lot doing the XF-92 and am learning a lot more doing the Loening. Parts are in the works. |

Another view of the saddles. Out of scrap balsa I built 4 different sanding blocks fair teh airfoil. If some ham-handed idiot wouldn't have crushed several ribs during the process, requiring replacments, I would hav been done much sooner. Now on to the strut & rigging attachment points. |

| Don't know if you read my response in my S.E. 5 build, but by chance came across your build on the XF-92. Fantastic!! Was impressed with the level of attention to detail. No doubt, this Loening project will be excellent, as exemplified by just the past few weeks. |

Spent most of the day sanding and strueing up the wings. Never done this before. My enigineering & woodworking background has proven the worth of "jigs" over the years. Here is one of teh wings supported by three saddles that allowed me to get the bottom of the leading & trailing edges truly flat and also make sure that the undercamber of the airfoil was consistent. |

| Wow. Nothing like closely spaced ribs with sub-ribs! This is great! |

| Love it at this stage! |

| Looks just as good as laser cut! Really nice work. That's a big plane. |

| Beautiful job Rayl. Looks as though you really paid attention to the details of gluing the pieces right-on. |

| LoL... Thanks DD. You're correct. It's glutton... Sorry about that. |

Anothee view. Span is 40 inches (+ asmidge). |

Top wing done. The plans that I am working off of did not have ailerons, so had to extrapolate/interpolate/WAG them; think that I'm pretty close. The wing center section/dihederal brace took most of the day (when I wasn't shoveling snow). |

| Either way you two are doing some nice work and like John O says, It feels good when it's over - and satisfying. |
| David Duckett, Comment for image # 35409 | 22 Jan 16 08:34 |
| Glutton, perhaps? |
| Skyediamonds1985, Comment for image # 35409 | 21 Jan 16 22:22 |
| Rayl, you've got my respect! Nice job. You're not alone in the "Gluten for Punishment" area. Check out my posts on the S.E. 5. My OCD kicked in and wouldn't let up. Still slogging away albeit very slowly. |

| I could have used Gumby's help, but I presume that he is still gallivanting around God only knows where. |

| Nice work. Feels so good when it's over! |
| rayl, Image # 35409 | 20 Jan 16 11:55 |
Nearly 200 individual parts here, Took a day and a half to git R done. The little pile in front are the puchings from the alignment tool. I think the next model will be Laser-cut. |
