RE: Ugly Stick Build
Just a quick update this week.
I lifted the wing up and rocked it back to do the trailing edge sheeting. These short kit ribs aren't quite as flat, so I had to prop the main spar up about 3/16 of an inch. The plans show a 1 7/8 inch rear sheet - just enough to trim the edges straight. (However, the short kit ribs apparently were cut for a 2 inch sheet, so I had to trim them down a tad.)
I then marked the hinge locations, four per aileron, and added a small chunk of wood for the hinge to glue to. Next, I added the top sheet, leaving it overhang a bit. Once the wing half is off the board, you can easily run your knife along the bottom sheet and trim it to the exact size.
I turned it over, glued in the bottom stringers. (Or, sub-spars?)
Probably should have glued the riblets in before the bottom stringer, but I couldn't figure out an easy way to hold them in place. I have to tug the stringers apart a tad to slide the riblets in now, but once in place, they fit snug and hold themselves in place.
