Many thanks for emailing me the info on the wings. Are all the sub-ribs cut in the same location with a jig? I have went back and checked my wings, and still come up with the same measurements as I had listed above. Maybe mine just ended up a little longer. No matter now, as I decided to go with a carbon fiber tube, to further help keep the weight down.
I just extended my sockets on further into the panel.

I'm hoping to keep weight down to 9 1/2- 9 3/4 lbs. Which I think is going to be attainable .

I have finished the wings( tips on, cut and surrounded ailerons, tube in, sub rib attached, servo-box installed) and the weights are 10.9 oz and 11.1 oz.




I will attach the 2 photos Marcelo emailed me regarding the wing tube sub-rib locations. Mine are a bit longer for whatever reason, but I'm sure most will be just like these( which I will assume at this point are jig cut) . Notice the glass reinforcement. Nice!
