Default RE: Jack Stafford Chipmunk

I almost went too far,
The 2nd wing panel needs to be sheeted while the other panel is still in a state that it will fit into the shucks, both panels are cut from the same foam board and they both have to be in the shucks in order to stack weight on them for sheeting.
I have the 2nd panel sheeted and it is drying in the shucks. I will add the L/E and T/E pieces when I remove the panel from the shucks this evening. I will then carve the tip blocks close to shape then glue them to the panels before cutting the aileron's out. I am still undecided whether or not to cut out a slot and add the T/E reinforcement and the Aileron L/E before cutting the aileron's out or add them after. I do not have a hot wire foam cutter so cutting the slot out may be very tough to do and get it right. Does anyone have any opinions here??
