Things are moving with this restoration....again. The main spars turned up from the US of A, and should be here shortly. Meanwhile, we are busy making new ribs. The old ones are truly buggered. It is a time consuming job that must be done carefully, so you do`nt bugger up the jig!! and things has to be done right, for this one is aerobatic!! :shock:
