Well cracking right along. The leading edges are on and the spars are in. The picture with the red and blue tubes shows where the nyrods are going. The red nyrod will house the antenna and the blue will operate the elevons. In one picture you can see triangle stock on wing rib w-3. Originally the would have supported the cap strips on either side of the fin. Now it will stiffen the upper wing skin. The wing bottom is now fully sheeted. The gaps at the nose are an area that will be trimmed when the fuselage is attached. You may have noticed the weights. They are one pound ingots and are being used to insure that the wing stays flat while the spars and sheeting are installed.
