Default RE: Don Smith A-26

I should be starting on the wing by mid December or January at the latest. More pics to follow this week-end.

KKN, Are you going to fly it in primer? I plan to before committing all those hours to detailing, cockpit, etc.

Ichy, hope you do start working on it more if possible. I do know how time can be a problem. Interesting flap actuation system. However it looks to me that where the two channels come together would destroy any strenght as it appears to me that the channels are in the middle and the rods that attach to the actual flap at both ends. I was thinking of just using a simply sliding hinge assembly for the slotted flaps.

How was the wing construction? Judging by some of the parts fit so far I'm thinking of using my CAD program to redraw the wing ribs. That way I'll know they will fit.
