Quickly tried to dry assemble on wing have on the wing spar. The ribs fit really well, nice and tight on the main spar and every thing goes together fine. Did find one issue though and it's not Joe's fault as he cut rib 5 to the drawing on the plan but the drawing was drawn in a confusing way. The picture of the rib shows the rib end at the leading edge of the aileron like rib 4 on out to the wing tip does. Those ribs are supposed to end but rib 5 is supposed to go all the way to the trailing edge. The drawing puts the aileron in a solid line on top of the rib with a dotted line to show the full rib. It should be drawn the other way so that the full rib is cut out. I will get some pictures up of what I mean. I will be putting the split flaps in so I will need to do some engineering for them.

I am building this as a seaplane from the start and am putting to use some ideas I learned with my kingfisher. THINGS GET WET! So I am considering using nyrod to the ailerons instead of servos out in the wings in the case of a dunking. Same for the flaps with servos mounted centrally in the wing. Just two servos and the nyrods sealed to the surfaces. Though my Kingfisher only filled once on me during the learning curve I learned how water can get into everything and quickly. A good drying out was required. I am thinking no servo mounting plates, no holes in those plates, etc. What are people's thoughts on going old school for the water tightness?
