Finish up the shear webbing today. Also installed some hinge blocks. Then I moved onto the wing tips. I think they came out pretty nice.

Next up will be the servo mounts. Then a whole lot of sanding to shape the leading and trailing edges and the ailerons.

Just a suggestion on the wing tips the small triangle that you have glued in sand a small hollow into them so that the covering goes from the last rib to the tip plate. This makes it easier to cover and I believe it looks better. Coming along nicely.

Had a few free minutes before work this morning so I snuck in a little shop time.

The center rib on both wing halves have to be glued in at an angle to allow for the dihedral. To find the correct angle I sat the plywood dihedral brace on my table upside down. Then I used a speed square to mark a vertical center line on the brace. All I had to do then was align the center rib with the center line on the brace and glue the rib in place.
