I fixed the misaligned T.E. on the top wing. It was alot easier and faster than I thought it would be. It was a little more than just tacked on to the ribs so I was able to get enough C.A. off the joints to fix it with out much effort. I think I had spotted the problem as soon as I removed the wing from the building board, and so just left it alone; didn't add more glue to the joints.


It only took about 30 minutes.


After that then I fixed the ribs to T.E. sizing just like the bottom wing, and installed the vertical shear webbing and bottom center sheeting on the wing.


So both wings are now at the same point.


I need to set up the bottom wing to fuse mounting, and add the mount points for the struts to bothe wings. Then I can add the rest of the center sheeting to both wings.


I will wait to do the wing tips till after both wings are mounted and alighned.


Bottom wing on the left.
