RE: The Swee' Pea is next
I made the template for the spar. I reduced the size by .050" to allow for .014" carbon laminate top and bottom and .020" of gap. That will be pushing it in terms of size, but I think the balsa skins would compress enough if it is oversize by a few thousandths. Plus when I make the balsa spars I will make sure they are not oversize at all.
I made spar material out of a piece of 3/8" x 4" x 48" contest balsa. It weighed 3.7 ounces. I cut it into 8" pieces and glued it with TiteBond yeilding a 24" x 8" piece. This should make spars for at least 6 wings.
While the glue is drying I'm going to cut cores and sheet a couple of wings. So I have to move the spar material off of my cutting table.
