The workshop has disappeared under a layer of sawdust and wood shavings again but the wing structures for both wings are now complete and sanded ready for covering. The wingtips have come together well, carrying the profile of the main rib accurately as the wing tapers to the tip. You can just about see in the picture the way in which the top of the main spar stays flat throughout the wingtip but the lower edge tapers up. Next job is a major clean and tidy to create some room as I need to get the fuselage back from storage. I'm going to test mount the wings, finish the struts, and set the wing incidence before covering the wings. This will allow me to make any adjustments necessary as easily as possible. At the moment the rear spar attach bracket is not yet drilled to the spar on the right wing. This will give me a small amount of flexibility to set exactly the incidence of the two wings to be the same. Hopefully, all the measuring I did to make sure the spar spacings exactly match the fuselage will prove to be successful - we will see! It will probably be just into September before the next entry in the blog once I have retrieved the fuselage.
A propeller! I managed to find a perfect second hand 69" x 63" Sensenich wooden propeller off a Diamond DA20-C1. This has the correct SAE #1 mounting and 3/8" holes to fit my engine and propeller spacer. The pitch should give my target 150mph cruise at about 2450 rpm. This will be very much a cruise prop so I will have to see how take off distances work out. Worst case it should be possible to rework the prop to reduce the pitch by a couple of inches to improve static rpm.

The construction of the structure of the wings is nearly complete. The wingtip spar caps have been glued in place and the gussets completed for the left wingtip - just the right wingtip gussets to go. Then comes the sanding of the wingtips. The challenge will be to blend the curves together to get smooth surfaces for the wingskins to adhere to. 
Today I pinned, screwed, and glued the second wingtip frame together. Next job is to fit gussets to strengthen all the joints in the two wingtips and fit spar caps to the main spars and stub rear spars. Then it's back to sanding!
