Thank you trumper, it really is a pleasure to share my experience and photos.
And in case you wanted to see work underway on the wing, there was an update from North Dakota overnight (from Brendon’s FB post):
Brent and his team at Odegaard Wings have been busy putting lots of rivets into our wings over the last couple of weeks with the lower wing skins largely finished apart from the lower gear well skins and effort then moving to the last of the upper wing skin riveting. Focus will then move to new outer skins for the gear doors, the stainless section of the “0” station rib between the two wing panels, and repair of the outer wing panels.

When I visited Brendon said the wings are about two-three months from completion. Don’t they look stunning? You can see all the progress pics on Brendon’s Facebook page and my own NZ2423 Flickr album (including historic photos of the airframe).
