I've nearly completed the left wing assembly. Everything is very straight forward, and the included jig makes assembly very quick.
I placed all the ribs in their holders, added the stringers and then went around and glued everything up.
Only one step had me confused when adding WSW3 and WSW4, fortunately the guys at AMR cleared that straight up for me, I think they are going to ammend the manual with some clarification.
The wing is assembled upside down initially, the wing root is shown at the right of this picture and you can see the servo bays at the rear. You can also see the WSW2 shear webs along the main spar there, I've decided to add shear webs along the length of the wing except for the final bay. The AMR guys assure me that their wing design is extremely strong, and i believe them, but since I'd already glued the WSW2's in place before I spoke with them, I'm committed.
Again, construction is like a big 3d jigsaw. The only other issue I had was the trailing edge part appears to be about 5mm too short for the wing. I've checked all the angles and it seems ok, not sure what the deal is there.
