Getting back into it?

So I finally finished off the kitchen renovation project, which entailed dismantling the old kitchen down to the studs, removing a wall, and moving all the appliances, not to mention new tile floors, new cabinets, new countertop, and new backsplash.  It's been a busy year.  And that only compliments the other house projects that have been keeping me busy. 

Yeah...

The funny thing about putting this project down for months is that I don't remember where I stopped.  Even with all the photos and descriptions here, it's a bit of a mystery what my next few moves were supposed to be.  The left wing panel was further along, so I finished match-drilling holes for the two ribs and riveted in the two compression ribs.  While in the area, I also bolted in several tangs and used rope tied with a bailing knot to pull taught the internal bracing.  This did add some triangulation for support, but it's still pretty flopp
y and will be so until the struts hold the spars in place.

This reminds me where I stopped.  Getting the right wing up to this same point should be routine now that I have the left wing assembled.  But the next big question is how to attach the struts and, importantly, how to align the spars & fuselage to cut the struts to length.  I started making a GOAT-4, but liked the looks and improved aerodynamics of the strutted GOAT-3.  This leaves the strut attach point half-way between the two currently.  The cabanes attach to the fuselage carry-through and there is nowhere to tab through for the struts.  Yet.  This will be my pondering point for the time it takes to get the right wing up to par.

The garage isn't long enough for both wings, any my driveway slopes down.  May be fun aligning the wings for measuring the required strut length.
