Getting started with building a wooden plane
How do most people start the fabrication process of a wooden airplane?
This is a major project and I want some help with the project management aspects. :)
The obvious things like identify a building space etc I have.
Does it make sense to start out with building the wing ribs first?
Order the capstrip etc from fill in the blank.
order the epoxy?
build the jig for the ribs.
cut, fit and glue parts to assemble the ribs?
I just need the accountability help from fellow builders.

Very nice workmanship AND Log
the only thing that I could think of was "How would I handle /store / move a wing THAT big ...one piece .
.
Nice to see good building logs .
.
Gotta Fly...

The Jodel wing is one piece and huge with a challenging spar but certainly can be done, many have. Have fun building
