Today I finished the rear wing of the ekranoplan. Completely made the cockpit and sheathed the wing with plywood on both sides, it remains to paste over it with fiberglass. I also bought polystyrene for the front pontoons and did a little work on the front wing. I have already made the rear and front wheels, the rear large ruder was made of plywood ribs and an aluminum tube, I covered all this with a cloth and coated with epoxy, it turned out pretty well, and the front small ruder did the same thing as with a plywood airlock sheet and plywood ribs. For the front wing, you only need to find the time to assemble it. For the money, the device is still cheap for me. Epoxy and fabric 44 euros, plywood 76 euros, polystyrene 33 euros, glue for plywood 18 euros and somewhere around 50-60 hours of work. I want to do as much as possible before the cold, because I work in an unheated hangar and in the winter I will not be able to do something big. Below is a photo of the work done.
