Default RE: Hobby Lobby Telesport build

The wing is built up and ready for the wing tips to be glued on and then sheeted. be for i sheet the wing i will apply epoxy to high stress areas inside the wing like the root and landing gear blocks.
A few mods was i added an extra 1/4" dihedral brace in between the 2 stock braces. I also added some small 1/4" ply blocks to the leading edge of the ribs that are supporting the landing gear blocks, you can see that in the pics.
A flaw that is in the instructions which i didn't catch be for it was to late is it doesn't mention to glue the trailing edge dihedral brace in be for you glue the trailing edge balsa strip on, the plans show the brace in between the leading edge balsa strip and wing bolt support blocks. So i had to glue the dihedral brace on outside of the trailing edge. See pic. I will just have to work around this with the ailerons.
Next will be sheeting.
