| Don C | 21-Jan-21 16:17 | | which will give the proper dihedral when cemented together. Thanks to Ted Richards for sending a good copy of he plans. It may actually fir together now.

| Don C | 22-Jan-21 11:25 | | You are right. It's really thin too, so my original thought of sheeting with 1/32" birch plywood won't work. I'm planning on infilling. I'm running stringers now. It should work and also strengthen the leading and trailing edges. I'm beginning to think I didn't think this out very well, but it's gonna go! :) |
