Hello I'm the new guy. But not at scratch building . Scratch built high power rockets and had a blast .
So I'm doing this Ryan's Rebel . Scale wings up a bit 86 Inch . Basic armain wing from experimental Airlines. Would build them differently next time
The fuse ,rudder ,elevators is out of 1inch pink foam . Cut from the plans.

Next time I will cut the ribs out of foam ,like it was balsa. The 1 inch would work then sheet it with dtfb . I did the armin wing and here is the video of it . I find showing everyone what techniques I use could help them and new people that would like to learn .
