Progress on an Ugly Stik I'm building, based on the plans floating around the internet. I'm sticking pretty close to the plans, but making some changes as I see fit.

Plans sized and printing out on the plotter:


Pattern routing the ribs:


Ribs completed. The plans call for a single plywood rib for forward wing attachment. I used two:


Checking fit of the ribs:


Dry fitting the fuse parts and checking radio layout:



Glueing up fuse, and removed from table:



Tail feathers:




Attaching the landing gear. I moved the main gear aft from the plans, in line with the wing leading edge:




Triangle stock reinforcement:


Pushrod tubes:


Wing construction. Begining with laminating the spars:



















Squaring up the fuse to wing and drilling the wing attach points:





Wintips and wing ready for covering:




Engine install and full mock-up:




That's it for now. I'm doing some tests using dress liner material to cover the wing.
