I put the balsa out and the ply inside for ease of final sanding. I do not believe that area will fail or come undone unless you are planning on pouring your fuel into your tank through the wing tube and into the fuse strait from your jug of fuel. Also if you do not plan to pitch your wings into the vehicle, or slam them onto the fuse you should be fine as well.

Kevin...how did you know that was EXACTLY what I was planning to do...doesn't everybody?? I NEED THAT EXTRA PROTECTION!!

Here are the servo area pictures I promised back on post #478. I will be adding detail photos of various areas of the wing and fuselage over the next little while, plus radio installation, (if you expect mine to look like Kevin's, let me "burst your bubble" right now). I am going to SWALLOW MY PRIDE, and display my "not nearly as nice as Kevin's technique to the whole world". I use the Joe six-pack, ham-handed installation method.

You will notice I used a bent wire at the servo end. Since I did this, (about a year ago), I have become MUCH, MUCH, MUCH, MUCH, MUCH, MUCH etc etc more aware of making installations with ZERO "play" in them, so I would probably reserve this method for "sport planes". Still, for my purposes, it works fine, and it illustrates the servo installation method, (much like a WM Intruder).
