Now onto the wing, the wing comes in 2 halves, with flap section cut out, ailerons cut out, tunnels for wires, and cuts for spars and ribs, over the next few weeks I will show the construction with the plug together spar.

Now a section of foam is re-fitted and the inner rib glued in, part of the foam will be cut away later for the wheel well and retract unit, seen here in the red hatching area where the retract rails will go.

work & going to the shows it has been hard trying to get on with the 190, this weekend I managed to get some time on her so not long now till she goes to kit. The wings are now 2 part, and with the alterations it comes together well, fibreglass moulds are now done, you can see i have added a section to the front of the wing making it easier to fit together, and the new retracts from David Brown should be with me by next week

Is it one of his special photos

I've got an album of them already spanning 20 years.!!

[stewart clifford]

I think Denis probably means something involving black tape or chuppa chups?

[chris willis]

Got the underside done now so can complete the building instructions
