With the fuselage gone from the shop, I could rotate the wing fully giving me access to areas previously hidden. Touched up some of the newly exposed glue joints. Cut some blockage for some missing spar cap strips. Cut a section for trailing edge material at the root, inboard of the aileron. Did some more thinking about the wing skins and with a few extra scarf joints, I think I can get it down to 8 sheets of ply vs. the 11 sheets previously estimated. Why not do the skins per the plans? Because the plane wasn't built exactly per the plans. Ray confirmed that the wings were fully sheeted when he received the wreckage. So I guess the aircraft morphed during construction and the plans weren't updated. I'm sure many changes happen during the development of any prototype. Likely more often than many of us would realize. Of course, as the design goes into production, the drawings should be updated. Anyone who's restored an antique of any sort, can attest that it is different from the drawings.
