A bit more progress today.

Today, I finished sheeting the top side of the wing.
This allowed me to take it off the board, cut off the alignment tabs of the ribs and start fitting the landing gear mount etc.

I decided to go with the flaps that are designed with the kit.
This was really the only involved thing I have had to do so far.

The building procedure makes you sheet the top side of the wing before gluing in the supports for the flap torque rod and then glue in the torque rod bearings into the support.
Because of the shape of the torque rod and how it comes through a 1/8" hole in rib 2, I had to cut a hole in the top sheeting that was bigger than what I liked, just to get the rod into place.
I will fit this before top sheeting the centre bays when I build the other wing.

It is interesting to look at the airfoil. At the root, it's semi-symmetrical but the tip has washout built in. The airfoil gradually blends between the two. Hopefully, the photo below shows the airfoil at the tip. Without doubt, this contributes to the excellent slow speed handling of the plane.

There is also a photo of my other Chipmunk. It has a Moki 1.8 and it one of the best planes I have ever had. Hopefully, this one will be just as good on the G38
