I made a rib/spar attachment checklist that might be helpful to those building their wings. The plans and builder's manual are excellent, but because I don't have a laptop computer, I had to make numerous trips between the garage and house to double check the assembly. Of course, this check list is no substitute for the plans and builder's manual, but it might be helpful. Double check for correctness, and keep an eye out for Panther updates.

Wing Build
I installed the pitot tube disconnect kit. It's a cleaver set up, and easy to install.
Note:
While drilling the 7/16" hole for the wing, spring/tube assembly on rib 1, I realized that up-drilling with drill bits wasn't making a round hole. I switched to a uni-bit, and this tool made a round hole.
