More chipmunk progress

Shaping fuselage sides.  Outlines are printed on the 1/8 hard balsa sides.   1/16 ply was CA'd after drilling holes.  Square stock glued on the top and bottom and stack sanded to match them up.   

The kit was short on engine stick, so I ripped some hard maple from my stock.  I added an engine crutch, I put it in all models now.  It makes it easy to locate and drill mounting holes.  I used transfer punches to locate the mounting holes and drilled them accurately. 

One the crutch is done, the sides were popped in a jig.  The crutch was glued in upside down.  

Sig supplies a molded set of flap and elevator horns.  I cut up an old one, and will not use it.  I need to a set.  The horns are flexy and and the little kink in the horn wire isn't enough to prevent rotation.

Looking good my friend.
We know the ribs are in need of some rework.
Idea, (I'm sure you already know this tip) when done re-working the ribs, weigh each rib and put the heavier ribs on the outboard side.
