Now that the flying season is winding down, and most fly-ins, but a couple are done, I have begun to work on a couple projects. My 13 foot Vindicator (elevators built...its a start) and I'm back on the 124 inch Corsair.

After adding a wing tube, to suppIement the aluminum spade (which I don't think would be up to the task with a radial installed...no risk wanted here), I now have the right wing panel mostly sheeted and ready to finish up the flaps and ailerons. I mated it to the center section and it is a pretty nice fit. Barry did get the ribs nice and square at this joint. I now have to go back to the left panel and start all over and do the same there; starting with adding a wing tube. Here are a couple pictures of the right panel on the center section. You can see the glassed Corsair fuse hanging from the ceiling inhte background.
