Just received sub kit #3. To my surprise it was the top wing! I was expecting to finish the fuselage next, but will have to put that on the back burner.
This includes 32 laser cut ribs, 28 rib leading edge pieces, a good 60 metal pieces including wingtips, trailing edges, turnbuckles, control horns for the ailerons, tension bars and pullies. It also includes about 30 strips of basswood of various dimensions for rib caps, spars and other parts in the wing.
The first task is constructing each individual rib, followed by installing them on the spars, then installing the ailerons, then the leading edge/trailing edge/wingtip frames. Lastly I will connect the tension cables within the the wing structure.
