Today marks the end of scratch building my wife's (right) wing.  That makes the tail feathers and wings complete.  I just had to tell someone

Ron-

      No better place to tell  someone.

      Did you try   E-Harmony to see what the response would be? If you got a good   hit, let me know. Is she rich and unsatisfied with her Lear?

You will now be amazed how much faster you build the other wing.

That first wing is a real accomplishment! I remember how frustrating it seemed at the time trying to get the fiberglass Hoerner tips into alignment with the curvature of the wing and what a complete non-issue it was once the plane was finished!  Again Congratulations.

Well never mind then. The second wing is no big deal.  



Just kidding. Every milestone is a big deal. As an example I shocked myself with my planes own power for the first time last week.

The wing tips are all metal, no plastic out there.  I am a metal worker after all and I just couldn't bring myself to use the plastic.  The lights are positioned so full coverage is given without needing the rudder tail light also.
