Default Funky 40 Building

I have the Funky 40;the fuselage & tail feathers are complete. The engineering & fits are very good,but it sure would have helped to have the height of the engine mounting indicated. Also,a long beam mount is required. Took hours and hours to mount the engine,using the cowl as a reference.

Now that I have the wing just under way,it appears there is a shortage of wood.

Only one 10 x 20 mm leading Edge included; the 6 x 6 mm pieces seem to be O.K. for total lenght,but only if some are spliced. I don't really care for spliced spars,ecept in the center where it is necessary.
Also,I have two pieces of tri stock that I have no idea where they go.
No capstrips either,but they can be cut from scrap material.

I would be interested in hearing of any others who might have a wood shortage problem. Should I run into more shortages I will post them in a few days.
