Hello Everyone

It has been a while since I posted but there has been some progress.

The ribs have been adjusted to allow the push pull rods for the retracts through.

I have skinned the top surfaces using aliphatic glue and heaps of pins. In this kit the skin pieces are pre-glued together to form four complete sheets. I felt that this would make using CA very difficult to get a good reliable result. You may note that I filled in the square cutouts of the inner ribs with balsa (originally for servo wires). This sub-spar helped keep the correct shape in the fairly large open areas of the inner ribs.

Cheers
Tarquin
