Default RE: Build thread for a Carl Goldberg Eagle II Trainer??

Got some more done tonight. Created the built up wing tip though since i usually shape balsa block or shape from laminated pieces I'm not sure how it will come out until I remove the wing from the board. I placed a thin doubler just below the rib outline the spacing equal to the thickness of the sheet balsa. I added a couple cross pieces for support as well. I finish shanded the vertical stab rounding over the leading and top edges and also started the horizontal stab. The three center pieces and tips were die cut for me.

Mr E. - Form the pics it looks you sheeted your leading edge. Is that correct? I have a feeling the wing will be a bit twisty w/out some thin sheeting up front.
Crossman - It looks like you did not... did you notice a tendency to twist?
