Did you use a standard twin cylinder module W/a single hall sensor & trigger magnet?

добро утро Rumen,
and congratulations on choosing everyone's 2nd favourite subject (after the 109 of course)!
A couple of questions that are not apparent from the photos:
- Have you planned any wing washout, and how is this built? I noticed your wing ribs don't have any bottom tabs to lay on the building board, but you have a 2-piece shear web that slots into each rib, is the washout keyed in there?
- What about aileron and flap hinges, is that left up to the builder to design?
- I don't see any retract mounts (maybe I didn't look close enough)?

Yasu w1nd6urfa , ego pistevo oti iste kala )
So I do not understood your question about the wing,
About the wing ribs, I don't made any bottom tabs, because I made one main longerone, and the longeron will hold the ribs in the correct position and does not need have bottom tabs (legs)
Yes, the aileron and flap hinges will be work of the builder, every modeller uses different types of hinges.
About the landing gears it is early for the " bulgarian model" I made 9mm plate in every wing for the gears. The lending gears I think Robart , Sierra and Shindinmachine will be OK ,
Now I think for SPINER, I wonder that I must to make mold for 5 blade spiber..

Yes, that's what I thought.
Could you please post a screenshot from Corel with all the ribs in profile lined up on the longeron. Just wanted to check the tip rib incidence compared to the root rib incidence.

No I don't have any angle between the first and last ribs of wings, I do not think it is necessary in my case. I have 2 degree of maain wing against the fuselage.
Some progress with canopy :
