Yippee! The first wing - lower RH - is done! I finished it up yesterday. Here's some pictures of the final product.

The bottom of each wing has an inspection window above the
aileron pulley. The original aircraft had these as well. |

I'm going to roll right in the lower LH wing next, but also want to get started on a few OX-5 things too. Want to finish up the water pump which requires machining a new stainless steel shaft. I also want to get the crankshaft ready to check fit of bearings, etc.
Posts may not come as frequently as in the past. I'll update progress on the wings, but there is no need for all the pictures as the work is the same. I will be sure to keep everyone updated on progress with the OX-5.
