Got started on project late this afternoon...had to modify 16 of the 20 wing ribs..with the addition of flaps on this project the servos are going to be mounted in the wings servos for both flaps an ailerons. Had to cut slots in wing ribs for servo leads ..went ahead an put slots all the way to wingtips..might want to put nav lights an landing lights...just a thought...cut slots in ribs an put reinforcement on wing ribs...probably over engineered...at least it want be as likely to develope a crack or split that could run the length of rib
