Spar is finished (sort of)!

The spar is now completed, however I have mad a large mistake. There is a single ply of bidirectional glass the is placed over the unidirectional strips over the hard points where the wings attach. I could not get peel ply to stick on the BID since it was on the corner, leaving me with a nice and pokey edge.

When I tried to sand it down so I did not cut myself, I accidentally sanded into the UND strips (DOH!). I will sand the layup down and redo it.

Also, the wing jigs are almost complete. I'm running low on Bondo and the extreme heat is causing it to cure even more rapidly than usual, making it very difficult to work with.
