You will also notice on the wing picture, using a box type structure, I am able to simply turn the so called box upside down to do the other cut hopefully tonight. Can't do it alone....

Hi Roger, I may be getting a little ahead here, but how do you plan on keeping the wing tube from rotating when flying? I noticed you have a socket thru the fuselage. The way I do it is as follows: The tube slides thru the plywood, all 4 pieces, then I construct two ea. hardwood clamps and glue them half way to the inside of the inner plywood piece, there is a slit with a screw to tighten down on the tube. If anyone would like pictures of this method, please let me know.
Regards
Jack
