    Subject: Bare wood wing storage
    Yes, my wing as well is varnished. I really have no where else to store the m once built, so I guess they are both going to have to stay in the garage until ready for covering. I just hoped the heat/cold would not hurt them. ( winters...Ohio) --- On Mon, 3/16/09, Jack T. Textor <jtextor@thepalmergroup.com> wrote: From: Jack T.

    Subject: One down, one to go. (Wings)
    The wood construction on my right wing is done and it is now stored out of the way. My spars for the left wing come yesterday, Monday and I should be installing ribs by the weekend.- Feels good to be half way through wing c onstruction. One thing that may be of use to those who do not have their wi ngs built: I varnished mine by hand with a brush. To do the whole wing once assemble was quite the chore. What I will be doing with this left wing is to do the varnish as I go. I'll install some ribs, let dry, then varnish th ose ribs. Add a few more, let dry, varnish. This way I can get right up to them without having to reach across the chord or in between spars, etc. The spars themselves will not be-varnished until all the other bracing and c ompression struts are in place. Those did not seem to bad to do once the wi ng was done. - Just some FYI on my progress and thoughts.
