Thanks alot James. The before and after pictures are the neatest part I think.

Installed new aileron bearings.

Some close ups of the wing attach and strut brackets.









Spar nails per Bill Pancake.

Got the wing trammeled. Put on two pieces of 1/4 inch heat shrink on the wires. Shrunk the first piece, slide on the second, then shrunk it.





Started nailing ribs.

Still had fabric on the aileron to take off.







Found some small damage.





Just about got the tip bow fitted.

Wow! The wing looks great, you've sure put an incredible amount of work into it! It makes me really happy to know that plane is going to fly again someday.

Thanks alot Ryan. I can't wait either. You and your Dad will be one of the first ones to fly it when it's done. If I would get my butt out and work some more I would be alot further along. It will get there and when it does, we'll have some fun. Hope you, your Mom and Dad have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. And everyone else too!
