The install of the wing tubes is next. That's one of the more difficult jobs.

First I need to replace the balsa wing rib at W4 with a ply one to help support the inch and a quarter carbon tube. I got lucky, the ribs are nice and straight so I just glue the ply ones the balsa ones.

The wing ribs look to be quite flat on the bottom; it may have a lot of lift.

Looking good, Al. Smart move on splitting the wing. I joined my wings today to have a look - 100" is a BIG wing. Can't imagine the old days where someone thought a 100" one-piece wing was manageable.

Yap may be a little too flat for me.

Wing fillets are well under way. Before and after

Lots of work here yet. Parts to be machined, cover to make, pull-pull system and a general clean up of the area.
Believe it or not. it should look something like this when done.

I'm always amused when I see the whitewalls on some German tail wheels.   They really weren't that rare; there are a fair number of surviving pictures that show whitewalls.  Cool.

Will the retract mechanism be a servo or an actuator?

Actuator on the retract. The servo in the picture is for steering and the pull/ pull rudder. Smiley
