They are a bit thinner than most of the ply I have on hand and they are good and strong and very easy to work with, almost no cutting -- just cut them in half and bevel the edges. Besides, most old wings I have taken apart have had the plywood delaminating long before the solid wood has deteriorated. anyone else done this??

Well, funny you should mention that. Back when I had ready access to some really good trout streams I did tie flies & REALLY grossed out my wife more than once by not only identifying the hapless critter on the side of the raod, but stopping and collecting it as well (but honey, it's a Red Fox!) Anyway, based on a higher res picture that Bill sent me off list, I'd say this particular poor bas***d was a Harlan's Red Tail Hawk, who had to learn to fly on only his left wing real fast.

I have been contemplating this very subject myself for several days. Thanks for the illustrations Mike, and the photos Jim. I like the idea of the wide popsicle sticks... I have a box of 500 of those that I bought for mixing glue. Way more than I need, plus I like the smaller ones for most stuff. I also like the tongue in grove method, which is what I originally planned to do, and still might. My biggest problem at the moment is that I left my ribs (top and bottom caps) too long at the trailing edge. I built them according to the rib drawing, but I didn't realize that I was supposed to trim the excess until I started looking at other parts of the plan, and now those suspicions are confirmed in Jim's photos. Looks like I get to slide the ribs back off the spars for a trim (bummer). I wonder if I could just shoot a laser down the length and trim them with an exacto saw? -------- Mark - working on wings Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=263448#263448 ________________________________ Message 28 ____________________________________ Time: 09:08:25 PM PST US From: "Clif Dawson" Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Trailing Edge Just so long as you don't get into a funk because you're not a model B.

BUT. Those things are cut anywhichway so I would test each one for short runout by breaking the "other half".
