The top fabric being trimmed and glued down.

Here you can see the blanket method of appling the fabric to the wings. Notice the bumps where the strut attachment points protrude. The fabric can be ironed down tight over these and then make a small slit allowing the fabric to snap down in place. Reinforcement patches are glued over the area later as seen below.

Here you can see that the rib stitching has been completed and all tapes and inspection rings have been applied.

Both wings being painted with the Air-Tech process.

She looks a little odd with only one wing.

Now she's looking like a airplane. Now is when one might say that the job is 90% complete but there's still tons of stuff to do (instruments, radios, engine...). Two more lift struts might be good. :-)
