Last weekend I got the ribs for the upper wing and so I started building the right half of the upperwing. At first, I counted the ribs, and, we forgot making number 13 !

No problem, Dieter milled them.
The wingbuilding started with gluing the spars and with the rootribs, I had to double them.

I also builded the wingtips, laminated from 2mm Bals-strips, in the middle there is a layer made from 0,75 mm birch-plywood. The result is a very, very light but strong constuction.

The rest is simple,not really special.

For checking the exact dihedral I added the centerpiece to the wing.

Actually I`m very satified, it works like I`d wished it
