Pictures of my newly acquired pre-built wings

DETAIL:

I ran across a deal on an 80% complete GN-1 that was for sale.  It was located at my home airport of Falcon Field in Mesa, AZ.  It was a very rare find as GN-1's are not too popular out here.

The construction was done nicely.  The wings are about 90% complete.  They only need leading and trailing edges and ailerons. All drag/anti-drag wires are installed, wingtips completed, all hardware already bolted on (with the exception of the lift strut brackets.) I picked up the whole package for the gentleman's asking price and trailered it home to the shop.

This will accelerate my project build time by at least 6-9 months!  I feel a little guilty by not having built my own wings but I'm young and I plan to build several more airplanes... no time for guilt now, Let's just get this GN-1 in the air!
