Another eZoner, Admiral Red, worked up these beautiful wing templates using Compufoil and Autocad. He emailed me a DXF file, and I printed them out, and cut wings from the design. Here are my freshly cut ribs laid out on the printout, ready to construct a built-up wing.

Here are the wings, single-sided.

Time to make a REALLY strong set of wing spars. I was guessing the AUW of the plane would be over 12 pounds. I knew I needed them to be bulletproof. I laminated together pieces of maple, with lite-ply in an I-beam formation using 2 hour epoxy.

Here is a spar being test fitted into the wing.

More test fitting.

Wings are finished and ready to go!

Lets put them on the plane and see what she looks like!
