Default RE: TF Contender, a beginers view

In no time at all, (it didn't seem that way) I had a wing! I did learn that a razor plane would have been a nice tool to have. unfourtunatly I didn't learn that until I had carved everything free hand with a #11 blade! Once again, I learned something! In the plans, there was an option for up turned wingtips, suposed to correct an adverse roll coupling issue. I decided to build the upturned tips, really, cause I liked the way the plane looked with them vice without. I'm very pleased with how well they came out. Both ended up at exactly 40 degrees as called for. (due to good plans and not great skill I'm sure)
