Seems like the wing will fit. Like DD I must make wooden end caps for the wing....Guillows plastic...again!

The Spirit has a wing. A few extra stingers and a large stringer just forward of the aileron spaces. I could not get 1/32 bass wide enough to cover in one piece so I had to adjust the stringers to hold a tight seam.

These a floral arranging pins. They are a bit long but cut easily to fit your building board. You can purchase them at a craft shop. I found them useful in building the Spirit wing.

The top is almost there. Guillows calls for pieced stringers. Fortunately my "mini lumbar yard" yielded stringers that can span the wing in one piece....but I must mark and cut notches as Guillows forgot!

Wayne pops a bird to the Guillows Co. The wing spars are not even marked, in fact outside of the shape, nothing was marked the F3s are FUs! I want to build a few more from Guillows but as a last resort!

Wayne Johns guards the basic wing layout. Guillos wood sucks! I should have bought plans and fully scratch build the Spirit!

Look close on the rear of the shaft. You can see how the bushing locks the shaft. This assembly slides thru the nose plg, engine, and firewall. Adab of CA locks the bushing to the wood , but the shaft turns free.

One tube over another. The larger tube also furnished a bushing to secure the prop shaft.
