I had my first major woops yesterday. I had the flaperon spar with counter weight and all the ribs attached on blocks on my workbench. I backed into it knocking it to the floor. The heavy weight put a 30 degree bend in the spar. Ordered a new spar from Van's, $27.00, and will spend today drilling out rivets.
Warning to newcomers, the flaperon spar with the counter weight attached is long, awkward and fragile. Clamp and/or screw it to the bench while working on it. It's all part of the learning curve.
