Your wings are really looking good !! I just rebuilt a set of wings for an old 50 cc Wildhare Cap that a guy gave me & remade about 25 ribs & leading edges, ha !!
I still have to sand a bit more & recover them ! Some repair work also had to be done on one fuse side !

Here are some before & after pics. !

Wow! Nicely done. Very impressive and a great save from the very certain cold and icy clutches of the airplane grime reaper.

Nicely done looks a lot better than before. Looks good smooth the joints look good too now all it needs is some covering and they're ready for the spring.

Had sometime to day so I finished up the fuselage, and the canopy.

I see you have Stits on the bench are you going to cover the plane with Stits. My last 5 or 6 planes have been Stits. This is the first time in about 5 years that I am covering a plane with Ultracoat and I am have some difficulties with it the first coat is easy but putting the second layer of striping etc is giving me some problems. If I had my choice I would Stits the plane.
