Default RE: Building a HouseofBalsa P-51

Heres the latest:

Almost done with the right wing.
I used almost the full wing length for aileron.
If you notice the shear webs, Instead of putting them on the centers of the 1/4"x1/4" strips like the plans say, I enlarged them and put them on the back sides.
Its how I've always done my other planes and seems like a stronger alternative.
Went to the hobby store and bought new aileron wood along with 1/4" balsa stock to make the trailing edge.
Just have to sand the leading edge down, glue on the leading edge wood, then sculpt it.
