Building the spars balsa and spruce:

and wing joiner boxes had to be revised for a notch instead of a tongue where W1 meets the W1 rib.

The laser parts fit very well with only a few adjustments to the depth of the slots, which I revised in the CAD files for the next batch:


The wing joiner box walls get the ribs attached first, but I suppose these ribs can wait to be glued later.

Ribs 4, 5, 6 and 7 have hard ply doublers, so I glue those to the ribs before anything goes together.
With the bottom spar on the plan I place all the ribs where they belong using the sheerweb to keep separation and right angles.
Some of the sheerweb parts need a bit of trimming, but it all goes together nicely:

I found Rib 8 tail end is a bit too long and interferes with 8B so needs to be sanded or cut :



Trailing edge is 1/16 spruce sheet and needs to match the plans


Next I need to go over all joins with slow Superphatic :

Left wing mostly framed, can't resist to see how it joins the right side:

As wing build  progresses, I need to check landing gear fit before epoxing the landing gear bearers and some ribs need to be trimmed for the cylinder movement during gear down swing.:
