No glue yet. Just a dry run while I muster up the courage to start smearing some glue on this big O'l wing.

I spot a couple items that came from my shop.

I knew you would. I use those sanding blocks almost daily.

@Decal Dennis my I ask you a question. The picture shown is the arms of Dutch orange brigade. Is it possible to make a decal of with out the red background and the loin shown with a small outline to make it stand out it does have a out line already that my be sufficient.

THREAD JACKING ALERT!!!!

When you say welded. Do you steel welded or silver solder (brazing). Interested to know if you did do the proper silver solder how did you do it and where did you get the solder.

Got the wing plans laid out and covered with wax paper. But now I'm scared to get started. That is one big ass wing! Pic doesn't do it justice.

Man hope that is the full wing and not just one half, if it is I can see why you are apprehensive I would be that is big ****wing. Make sure you get all the sparse in correctly.

Kevin used a mig welder on the landing gear.

Yes that is the whole wing. 99" one piece wing. Would like to have made it a two piece for easier transport, but with the dihedral it would have been a real pain in the arse. I could have built a two piece without dihedral pretty easily. But the whole purpose of this build is to have an easy lazy day flyer.

I was wondering if you were going one-piece! It's a big wing to transport! One of the reasons I let mine go...

You had better get a big soft padded wing bag for that it will suffer from Hanger rash for sure at that size.
