    Next thing I had to do was trim off the wing spars flush with the center rib. Good job for my handy dandy DeWalt flush trim saw. :) Hopefully I can find the time tonight to do the other wing half. After that I won't have any more excuses to put off shaping the edges. :p

    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...

    Glad I'm not the only one that throws out their shoulder starting those gassers. Back in the day when @Decal Dennis was the service tech for Mintor I use to help him out once in a while. One night he was working on a couple Mintor 220's I was flippin the crap out of them. My arm hurt for a...

    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.
