Default RE: Dave Snow Wings/Stabs

So you can see here, a couple of the jig pieces. Everything is laser etched with its part number for easy identification. Pic #1 and #2 are of the jig pieces. There are 8 sheets of laser cut pieces that make up the jigs. Pics #3 and #4 are of wing ribs plus a sheet of the shear webs. The wood selection here is VERY good and again, everything is easily identifiable. The design of the wings/stabs themselves is really nice. Dave put a lot of thought into making these strong where they need to be, while staying VERY light.

Along with all the wood (I think there are 12-14 sheets that make up the wings and stabs), there are full-size plans for both wings and stabs that are very clear and easy to understand. No instructions with the kits, but realistically, if you've decided to go with built-up wings and stabs for an F3A airplane, you more than likely won't be someone who requires instructions to build these. They're really pretty simple once you look at the drawings a bit.

All of this was delivered to my door for about $295. Pretty reasonable IMO.
