Thanks Steve, I had forgotten how to post photos and I thought I had abandoned the post. I will post details and more photos. When I was trying to post the message I mentioned that I used a lot of your tips from your builders manual. I will also post on your builders manual site. Thanks for the help. Ralph

That's a mighty big wing. It looks good though. But I was really expecting a Shasta wing. :?

Mike...
The quality is remembered long after the price is forgotten, so build your teardrop with the best materials...

If anybody wants a real 'Shasta wing', I did some templates of the various sizes for the Vintage Shasta guys a while ago, so pm me for a pdf.

I know t/d's are personal, but for me, wings beg the question: "Why?"
