Default RE: Sig Citabria Build

I finally got the first wing off the building board! It needs a bit of sanding yet, but it actually looks like a wing now. I tapered the ends of the internal spars for the other wing. Since I'm supposed to be on Spring Break this week, I hope to spend some time this evening on the wing.

After reading the helpful comments that were posted here, I've decided not to install servos in the wings. I have 2 reasons for proceeding in this fashion. First, I'm told that the bell crank system works fine. Second, I'd like to try something different! All of the models I've put together have a servo in each wing and I thought I might learn something interesting by building the bell crank.

I've attached a picture of the completed wing-tip.
