I didn't glass the strips - I epoxied brass tubes in the elevators that the joining wire slides into. I will then epoxy the joining wire on final installation.

RE: Goldberg Super Chipmunk - A tale of two builds...

Thats the way the landing gear wires fit, they are a little tight on the 90 where the leg goes down to the wheel. Take a dremel and round the balsa just a bit - really not an issue.

I glued the TE of the LE sheeting to the spar using thin CA. I then glued the rest with medium CA and held in place with green masking tape (it holds better than the blue but can still be removed).

RE: Goldberg Super Chipmunk - A tale of two builds...
