Hey guys,
Im back on my Ziroli stuka build and need some help. I am building a 3 piece wing and am wondering if I built it strong enough. I epoxied an aluminum tube in joiner 6,7 and 8 and epoxied a fiberglass tube in joiner 4 and 5 only. Then i crudely boxed in the tube between joiners 3 and 5 and plan on strengthening that area more. I am concerned that this is not going to be strong enough, I have thought maybe I should just run a solid aluminum tube through the entire center section and have sleeves in the outer wing panels.

I need some input from everyone with experience on this matter any comments appreciated.

I dont know about the 3 piece, I did mine as a 1 piece wing, just make sure you put some sheer webbing in it (it is not on the plans...).
There are some pics of the 3 piece on ziroli's website....ziroliplans.com

After sleeping on it I decided to undo my work to the wing tubes and re install them at a different angle so they pass through joiners 3-5 and 6-8 with the alignment tab running from ribs 4 and 5 to 6 and 7. I have confidence this will be strong enough. I also threw in a pic of my fuselage progress. I just need to find a suitable tailgear. The only one I really see I like is the Robart one on the Ziroli website, but it doesnt really look scale. I am planning on buying Sierra struts and wish I could get a matching scale tailgear.

For the tail gear, I went with the set up on the plans, but had a yoke milled, by a friend.

Dvs1 I did it the same way. Aircraft ply ribs 3,4,5,6,7,8 with aircraft ply sub ribs as scabs around the tubes. Put the flap servo.s in the outer pannels and drove the inner flaps off the outer flaps. All worked well.
