Default Anyone Need and Extra Goldberg Cub Left Wing?

Just kidding.

Building the right wing flowed smoothly, especially because I managed to avoid the minor, but frustrating, errors I made on the left. It, too, came out straight, strong, and (gulp) heavy.


As with the left wing, the main spars were somewhat curved. I installed them with the warps opposing each other in hopes of them cancelling out.


If gluing the spars to the ribs didn't completely solve the problem, then all these shear webs did.


At this point, I installed the LE sheeting wing tip extensions, both top . . .


and bottom. The instructions called for installation after the wing halves were joined, but I thought there was less risk of hangar rash if I did it while the halves were separated.


And here they are, ready to join.
