Dennis: The right hand wing is a mirror image of the left wing. Both were relatively easy and satisfying to build.
I think a person could use strips of different widths to reduce the shaping work on the wing tips. I'm not sure it would be worth the work of trying to keep all the pieces lined up. I'm sure you could save some wood if you could pull it off. Fortunately Redwood is relatively cheep and because of it's grain, relatively easy to carve to shape.
With this the basing structure of the plane is done. Now it's time to install and rig the wings.

This blog records the history of Building, Flying and Changing our Fly Baby. The plane is alive and well so this will be an ongoing story. The principals in this story are Ernest and Dennis Harbin. All the family and many friends participated in this adventure. Ernie and Dennis will both make comments in posts. We both saw all this through our own eyes and remember things differently, so you'll get our thoughts and memories.
