Canard Spar #5

Well, tonight was the night.  I glued the forward hinge mounting blocks to the upper and lower spar caps.  This means that I now have a spar and not just two spar caps.  I had to size the blocks down in my planer to get the correct height to match the foam ribs and get the thickness to match the spar caps.  When I was clamping everything together I noticed that one of the spar caps had a slight twist to it.  I believe that this will go away once I glue the plywood shear webs in place.  I just need to make sure that the webs are glued 100% flat.
