Making the first placement test of the wing.
The wing root is massive, very massive, It's hard to see in the pictures, but you can see it in the instructions of the plastic model depicted here. In the real plane it was used to store repair tools and equipment to help a fast deployement.
I was planning to reinforce the external wing, but I'm seeing that it's unnecessary. Once the final shape of the wing and floats is done, just the engines and struts remain. So... soon, maybe this month.
