Thanks so much, RM. This one is going quite well!

I got the lower wings started by cross-graining my spars to make them a bit thicker to fit the rib slots and much stronger. I'm not sure why the spars as printed are so thin while the slots in the ribs are so thick. Oh, well...Then I threaded the ribs on, then the skins. Worked well with a bit o' sanding and tugging around at the paper. I'll do the other side tomorrow and then fix them to the fuselage. Then, on to the top wing!

Stay tuned,
Dan
