Well, it's probably time I post up some photos of my ASII project and hopefully add to this amazing resource. My journey started when a project close by came up for sale. Unfortunately it didn't end up in my garage (another one did instead, that story for another post) but it did firmly plant the building bug in me. Late last year I bought a set of plans and earlier this year I bought the wood for the wings.
Rib construction officially started in June and I finished the ribs in September. The lower ribs are also fit to the spars (I'll have to get a recent photo).
Tonight, I made another leap turning smaller parts into bigger parts by gluing up my first aileron. As you can see, I used precision scrap pieces and electrical tape to hold things square. I used a pin nailer to secure the ribs to the spar and I plan to remove the nails after the glue sets.
More fun to follow!!
