Hello Chuck,

I see you have all your building activities very well organized!
One question, did you foamcutting alone or with two persons, one on the root side and one on the tip side?

I have the possibility of vacuum bagging to glue doublers but never did make a foam wing.
Alsways "handmade" ribs with the fred? saw (dutch : figuurzaag).
I use a computer to calculate and print all the ribs.
My program can calculate ribs with different airfoils on root and tip,
First picture also visible a own design Horten glider (Flying wing) which is calculated with 4 different airfoils in one wing.
(bell shaped Horten lift distribution),

Off topic but interesting for you:
