Hi all.
 Just a heads up on my project for sale. I finally dug up the engine records for this project and have added several details in the Engine section of the original post.  Howard  240-674-2859

Hello Howard-
You mentioned that you would not fly the wings.  Can you elaborate on why not?
Thanks,
Doug Frantz

Hi Doug,
   Thanks for asking.
The ribs do not have the plywood webbing shown in the 'Hannaford' drawings. They are all stick built. Maybe ok in some designs..... What really got me to thinking was the aileron bellcrank mounting piece being deck screwed into the spar.......... There was also lots of bondo filling out the contours of the leading edges and tips. The aileron cables were routed through PVC pipe so as to not saw the ribs. The wing fittings, while they may have been ok, were no where close to the drawings. Just sayin' ;-) The fuselage and tail feathers were obviously done by a different craftsman. Howard 240-674-2859
