Default RE: F-4C Phantom - Pavel Bosak

Made some progress in the last couple days. Completed and joined the main wing panels, along with the reinforcing in the center.

Cut the ribs for and built one of the tip panels. It calls for a 10 deg. dihedral, so I made two gauges and a couple gauge blocks to insure this. I'll use the same ones on the right panel. Pavel says just go ahead and sheet the ribs, no spars, etc. Couldn't do that, given my experience with the first two main wing attempts. So, stuck the false LE on, then made a notched, 3/16 web spar kinda like the main panels, but it won't have any caps. That should keep it all in alignment when I go to sheet it. I'll do the top first, with everything pinned down on the board.

Later.
