Alright… we decided we're going to skip sections 11-16 for now.  Section 11 is putting all the empennage parts on the tailcone… that's just a space killer… the temptation is there cuz it would look REALLY cool, but not practical right now.  Section 12 is putting on the fiberglass tips to all the empennage parts... No need to right now, and since its messy work and requires a dedicated set of tools (wears them out quickly) we're going to wait and do all the fiberglass at the same time later.  Section 13 starts the wings off by messing with the wing spars... the 12-or-so foot long wing spars... and then sections 14, 15 & 16 just add onto the spars.  After that, you start working on all the pieces that will get attached to those big assemblies, so instead of setting them aside, having them take up space in the garage, we decided to do all those other parts of the wings that we can store in the house first!  That way, once we start on the spars, we won't stop messing with them!  So here we go!!!
17-2 step 1:  Well, as usual, one of the first steps is deburring… notice the grin… remember it… it won't last long…

Here Angela is diligently deburring the leading edge ribs.  Her smile went away about 2.3 nanoseconds into it… this girl is all business!
