Default RE: Sig Hog Bipe

I got a bit more work done last night ... not much, but any little progress is just that - progress.

I note for others building this kit - don't blindly pop out the circular die-cut disks in all the Ribs, you only need those removed between the bottom wing center extending out to the aileron servo - if you're doing the dual aileron servo mod. This is so the servo leads can pass through the wing. After popping out 2 disks, my spidy senses started tingling and I re-evaluated "why" I was doing what I was doing. "Hey the top wing has NO servos smartguy"! Fortunately, I realized the error of my ways. Maybe this saves someone else some grief.

Below are some progress photos

Pictures1&2 - Top wing, ribs in place and CA'd down
Pictures3&4 - Towards the outer portion of the wing, you have to space 2 ribs between part P2 (Ply Connection to Strut). Took me a few minutes to find this on the plans. Anyway, this is what it looks like - oh, and yeah they're upside down in the picture
Picture5 - Do do not glue in P2 at this time, so I clamped the 3 parts together, CA'd the ribs to the spar and removed P2.
