So the first wing milestone has been achieved: time to start the spars! As I mentioned earlier, the Expedition spars are essentially Patrol spars, but about 10% taller. I fashioned the end plates more like the 4-place to make sure I had enough rivetage to withstand the compression forces I expect to see.
Since I'm building three wings, I opted to build routing jigs for these plates, just like with the wing ribs. That way they're all the same. Tonight I created the master patterns from which future jigs will be made.

I'll keep all spar activity in this thread so it's all together.
