Inner wings attached
Now it is time to glue the inner wing directly to the fuselage. There is no inner structure or wing spars at all. Just butt joined.
I took the opportunity to dirty the landing gear bay a bit using dark grey pen and swabbing it with a cotton stick. Why not.
here is the right inner wing glued on.
Now comes the "secret sauce" to support the wings. I used a metal music wire from my radio control stash and drilled it directly thru the balsa wood ribs all the way to the other wing. It will be super strong. Another metal rod will be inserted at the leading edge later when the engine nacelle is attached.
