One wing left to finish up (repeat after me: monoplane, monoplane).

Here's the wing partially covered, bottom first:




Can't forget to install the fabric reinforcement for the aileron pushrod exit. Proctor originally called for using 'heavy paper'. 1/32" plywood will work too. I used clear plastic and just used to heat to fuse it to the glue-side of the fabric. Seems to work.





A finished pushrod-exit:




Test-fitting the bamboo wingtip skids. This particular kit is an early one from the early 70s. The skids were perfectly straight, a couple minutes in boiling water softened them enough to put into a form to give them the proper bend.
