Note:  This section contains photos and narrative provided by Bill Schertz.  You will find some of the best detail photos and construction hints available anywhere.  I am personally very thankful to Bill for his wing construction section which I found very helpful to me during my wind construction.  Thanks Bill, and keep them coming.
