Here is the glassed wing joint with the extra glassing for the rear wing bolts. Here is also a shot of the epoxied in blocks in the fuse for the wing bolts. Keep in mind the plane was already built up through the wood phase by it's original deceased owner so I did a certain amount of backing up and "after thoughts" for all these mods. The woodworking was excellent however and everything is straight. I'm sure he'll jump in the cockpit when this thing takes to the air!
Your right about the plane never being a performer, just a workhorse. Reminds me of the Budweiser commercial during the superbowl where the donkey wants to be a Bud Clydesdale
