It has been a really long time since I have posted. Winter has really slowed down my desire to get outside in the garage and do any work on the project. The wings are still in the condition they were in the last post and will most likely not make any further progress until the fuselage is built. It is Jim Clements recommendation that you hold off building the root rib for the wings until the fuselage is built so that you can make them a smooth transition between the two.
So I ordered my tubing from Dillsburg Aeroplane Works and the tubing made it to my house today. I recommend Dillsburg for ordering your tubing as they are much cheaper than anyone else and really provides a good service. Charlie is a little cantankerous but overall is a really good guy. They are very old school there, they don't have a website or anything, you simply fax what you need (make sure to put exactly what you want!) and they return you a fax with pricing. Then you just fax the order back with shipping address and follow that with a call with your credit card.
So like I said the tubing arrived at my house today. I unpacked the tubing, wiped each tube down, inventoried it, labeled it, and placed it in the rack on the ceiling that I constructed last November.
So look for more posting now that I have something to start doing.
