The Jenny Jn4 wings are very similiar to the Canuck version.Wing tips,double ailerons, overall measurements are all the same.There is a slight unnoticable difference in the airfoil camber in that the Canuck uses the RAF experimental design.The trailing edge of the upper wing through the center section of the Canuck is straight while the 4A has a square cutout.I havent been able to find any reference for the cutout on the bottom trailing edge at the fuselage side but I assume that it was square also.
The wing that I am presently working on is the bottom R/H panel.This is somewhat of a new thing for me as I have never covered a model wing before with fabric.I am using the same method as I did for the fuselage.I have built up the spar/ribs/leading and trailing edges.As I did with the fuse the wires and fitting will be mostly absent as they wont be seen.I will install them only where I punch through the fabric.I have smashed the wingtip on this panel as though the airplane had been in an accident.The ailerons will be built but left off and stored.
