To help speed the work along on the wing, and to help make sure it's as accurate as possible I had a short-kit wing cut by Laser Design Services. Normally they sell the full L-19 as a short kit but they were willing to do just the wing for me, which I like!
Turn around was pretty quick since they cut the pieces as needed, and the wing arrived in about a week. The quality of the cutting was top notch, and even with the "thick" 1/8" sheet for the ribs the pieces still popped right out of the sheet. Every single laser cut I looked at so far was completely through the sheet as it should be.
Now that I have the short kit I was able to order the remaining balsa, ply, and basswood needed to build the wing. No pics yet, but I'm starting off by laminating 3 pieces of 1/8" ply together for the front center section and 3 more for the rear. The center of the wing is permanently mounted to the fuselage and the wings will slide on to these ply pieces.
I also am doing some prep work on the planking to get it ready for 'glassing. Balsa filler is thinned and plastered on. After it dries thoroughly I'll give it a good sanding to create the final shape of the fuse.
