Chapter 19: Wings and Ailerons


As the plans say, here's the BIG ONE! Building the wings involves a lot of individual steps, but the construction methods are not difficult. If you can build the canard, you can build the main wings.  What’s amazing is that in about 200 hours you can build about 50% of the plane, and once the wings are on, your neighbors will definitely recognize it as an airplane…not a boat or car…but an airplane.
