Default RE: Dos Little Stiks

We did get some work done this weekend. One wing is framed up and #2 is on the bench. Its nice to build a whole wing in one piece, I've never done this before! I was lucky to have some 48" 1/6th balsa sheet stock on hand for the leading and trailing edge sheeting but I did have to buy the 1/4" sq and the 1/8"sq spar material My LHS had both in 48" Ed's Covina Hobby Rocks!! Some slight mods, we eliminated a few ribs and added some sheer webbing for strength. I'm sure there is less wood in this structure than stock yet it is very ridged. As for the kit, things are going very smoothly! I went ahead and seperated all the parts from the sheets and am very impressed with the wood quality. Nice straight grain, lightweight stuff! And the the laser cutting is outstanding as always. I had to laugh at the "extra" sheet that Eddie thru in (obviously a set up piece) that had a big hole burnt through it.....I guess the laser was on volume 11!!
