Glad you're enjoying it *smile*

The Wing
Today I started the prep-work for covering the wing. I printed these templates for the graphics...



All was going well...



And then I realized there was still work to be done before I could cover the wing. First I added this small piece of trailing edge to the center area...



And although I've been putting this off & thinking about possibly ignoring it, the trailing edge where the flaps go is somewhat warped...



Its kind of hard to photograph, maybe this super nifty sketch illustrates what's going on...



Its not actually that bad, I exaggerated somewhat for clarity but its not good. So I soaked the area with water...



I then clamped blocks of wood to the wing, hopefully tomorrow things will have improved...



So even though I didn't get the wing covered today, I feel good about at least trying to do something about the warped TE.
