Just a rough fit to see how everything squared up and was very pleased. Right wing isn't finished just glued in place |

I doubled the 3/32 stringers but will sheet in the leading edge. Entire botton is sheeted in 1/32. Merry Xmas everyone. |

Now to start sheeting in the leading and trailing edges. A long ways to go. |

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. |
