Working on the wings.

So the unfinished wings did not have any sort of wing tips.  If I was going to have to build a wing tip for them, I may as well have the newer style W10 tips on them I think.  This required me having to remove one rib from the outboard tip to gain access to the spar to be able to extend the spar some for the tips to be added.  I then built them back up out of wood as they are done on the W10 wings that I built for my other project.  Strangely enough, maybe not, the ailerons and flaps for these wings were built, but not to the plans for a W8 and definitely not for a W10, so they also require some modification as well.  I had to shorten the overall span of them which required moving some of the ribs in the flap portion which also shortened them flaps back to the normal length called out in the plans.
