Left Wing

Made a block of wood out of scrap 3/8" sheet and placed in between rib W1 and W2, this is for the male plug when both wings are placed together, this was glued in place with epoxy, once dry this is very strong and the wing can be lifted by holding onto this part only, though this would be a lot stronger when placing both wings together.
