Default RE: Another Eindecker build

I don't have a lot to show for what I've done the last couple of days. Got the wing hold down bolt holes drilled and tapped, top center of the wing sheeted, and I started my most favorite job: shaping the leading edge. I'm taking everything off that I dare with my little trim plane, but that removes balsa in a big hurry, so I'm pretty cautious with it. Which leaves a lot of sanding to do. I have the bottom right leading edge just about shaped up. I thought about it at the time, and now really wish that I had done this shaping before I joined the wing halves. 80 inches is a lot of wing to work with at one time.

Sorry, can't upload pics right now.
