Hi
I ve looked at youre plans and you really are shorting the wings , I imagine that the red lines are were the ribs go . Will you be useing the same contruction wing tips or will they be changed also ? I m at the point of adding my wing tips and installing the aileron extentions as well as the centre section . I almost have the idea to shorten the wings myself , it s not too late , although the extra ribs would not be added , it s too late for that . Youre rudder looks great , I m afraid that it would make my tail too heavy , so I will reframe from that idea

Happy Holidays

Yes, the red lines are the rib locations. The advantage here is that the shear webs will now span from rib to rib. I'm not sure what I'm doing for wing tips yet. I did the tips of my T2 like a conventional, rounded wing tip, not realizing they were supposed to be beveled. So I may go that route on this one. Supposedly, that is less efficient, but it flew fine IMO. I guess I'l cross that bridge when I get there.
