Thanks Rick...much appreciate the look!
Since last time, I got the tails rigged and started the top wing. The construction of the wings is different in that you add the skeleton parts to a paper backing. Also, there is no single main spar. It's in pieces that go in between the ribs. Not my idea of strength or a way to get a straight structure, but after a night in a heavy book, it seems ok. One issue is that the top skins seem way too long (almost a 1/4 inch) so I did some trimming. A little worried about how the ailerons will match up, now but we'll see!
More soon...Dan
