One wing is all framed up now, i have been working on it since 2pm today and it's 11pm now.
So far looking great but i should have used 1/4" balsa sheet or 1/8" lite ply sheet to make the wing root ribs, 3/32" is just to thin for this wing type!, it's flexing quite a bit even after wing is framed up now.

I couldn't able to make the 2 spars and 2 ribs today as i was manually making interlocking notches multiple times on these spars and ribs which really consumed most of the time, good that my dremel rotary tool with cutting bit came in handy after installing 3rd rib to speed up the process other wise i would have 3/4 ways in terms of framing up this wing by this time.



First 2 pictures were taken as 5pm, after 3hrs of working on this wing today.
Second 2 were taken after 3rd rib was installed
Remaining were taken at 1055pm just after full wing frame was complete.
