Here is another batch...more of the wing build. The size really becomes apparent quickly. One thing that happened, when I pulled the right wing off the building board it sprung. It was twisted like I have never seen a wing twist. I've built probably 45-50 models and I've never had one do this. I re-pinned the wing to the board with an offset twist and soaked it in Windex. When it dried I released it and it was better. I put it back on the board and braced it so it was twisted back about 1/2 from where I needed it and soaked it again in Windex. The next day I released and it and thankfully the warp was gone. In the mean time I was all cued up to order a wing kit and start over. This hobby always throws a curve-ball when you least expect it.
