Default RE: NOW BE HONEST....

I think you're right Mike. I'm going to clip some span from it, but it will still be a pretty big wing.
I think I'll finish it like a AMA fast combat plane, which means no balsa sheeting, just limited fiberglass on the surface and seal-lamen or fascal or doculam for covering. Those planes stand up to quite a bit. The key to this plane having any chance at all will be to keep it light.
I made a full depth spar out of 1/8" balsa sheet with a layer of CF cloth on both sides. Kind of a pain to get everything lined back up after making the drastic cuts to pass the spar through the fuselage and into each wing panel. In Gorilla Glue we trust.
