Hi Bruce.

I wondered if you may visit this message board. rcuniverse seems to be the message of record.

Foos, construction looks good so far!
Thanks. There were a couple of gaps between the sheeting and the main & front spars, but I filled it will yellow glue (you can probably see these in the picture). And I went a little crazy on the sanding and put a few divets in the ribs (I'll post a picture this weekend). I don't think it will be a problem other than aesthetically.

You can use the string idea if and when you ever have to remove the servos.
I thought about using the string method, but I already had the wing assembled and it was difficult enlarging the holes in the ribs. However, I didn't think about removing the servos down the road!! [:@] Currently, the holes in the ribs are just barely large enough to accept the servo wires. I guess I should go in there and enlarge the rib holes to make it easier to string the servo wire through. But those holes are going to be fairly large. Will this compromise the wing strength?

I purchased an .82 Saito engine and plan on breaking it in today. Then I can start on the fuselage.
