Have got going on the centre panel.
To prove I don't learn, have repeated some mistakes from the other panels and made some new ones!
Anyway its good to be able to see how big this thing is,
3.2m of floater coming together, can't wait for the summer

Both wings mid and tip sections now finished and ready for sanding, so next job is to move onto the centre section. Some modification required to go with split spoilers so a little bit of time wasting doing some head scratching to come.

Thirteen bolts to undo then the panels lift out, only takes 5 mins to remove them. -

Nice toasty warm workshop
Working on mid sections. The first one is pictured below with progress so far. Have realised that I used 3/32 sheeting on the tip panels which should have been 1/16 so have some careful sanding to correct the issue.
One wing tip joined to the mid section, one to do. The mid sections have been wrapped up to the second last rib. The final wrap is done after the tip is joined up. It makes a nice mid size glider wing without the centre section! I will finish off the mid/tips before starting on the centre section.
