Replacement, hopefully improved, for the one I donated (damaged) at the last contest.

Good job Russell,,
My replacement isnt quite there yet,,

I hope youlook at the shear webs in the wing root, please make them go into the centersection under the sheeting, and to the rib, it will greatly enhance the rigidity,,

though it wont make it asphalt proof,,

The center rib is laminated 1/4 to make 1/2 so it is fairly stout in there, but with just a little fiddling I can extend all the way in.  The rudder is ply instead of balsa.  I'm sure my replacement airplane is a lot more basic than yours.
