Default RE: .60 size Pattern Tiporare Build

Well, today another hickup.
I have removed the wings from the laminating process and trimmed and sandes all of the edges and sanded in the dihedral. I was about to epoxy the leading and trailing stock in place and found that the airfoil or wing thickness at the center of the wing was thicker than that in the plan. I did not want to laminate material to the stock that I had on hand for the leading and trailing edges, so I have ordered the proper sizes from the Balsa Store that will fit.
The flight surfaces have been lightly sanded to contour, without any flat spots and just sitting in the shucks for now.
The wing cores with skins and landing gear blocks with the walls and floors in place have a weight of: L/W 10 and 3/8 ounces and R/W 10 and 1/3 ounces. Not too much more to report.
