Default RE: Shrike 40 / Reducing Airfoil

Begining the wing....

I added 2 spars (spruce) parallel to the leading edge through all the wing from root to tip for a better reinforcement you know just for in case .

As I did reduce the airfoil I needed cut off the rib tabs so that I needed to use some "tools" ( Mini Dv casettes box) to avoid a bend on the stock spars ( not wich I added to the wing ) during the glueing . Please see the pics for a better understanding.

On this step I spent about 2 hrs. to have all the ribs aligned before start glueing , measuring LE , measuring TE , measuring , measuring , measuring ....... this has been the only "hard" step during the build so far .
