Bohdan is making his mark already

I'll post pics later but I have already run into 2 fairly bad problems. The leading edge of the wing with the intake in it angles down too far. I cut along panel lines and have adjusted it, but I think if I hadn't already cut up the piece for my own mods it might have been more difficult.

The other problem involves the spar. As mentioned about 1/3 of the main center spar out to the wing fold hinge line is incorporated into the outboard spar. Well I drew my new spar by tracing the ones provided in the kit and now that I am trying to attach the skin it turns out what I have is fully 1/2" too short(on either side). I'm going to have to cut off part of the existing spar and splice a piece on either end to make up the difference. But that does make me happy in a way as I didn't think the bottom up the wings was down far enough.
