Default RE: Building a built-up pattern stab and wing

Dave finished attatching the new wing and stab to the Mystic fuse for me. Hedelivered it last week. Now the rest is up to me. I have sometime to complete itbecause we don't start flying until mid april.
The wing is patterned a bit after a wing Dave and I had on an Impact a few years back. That wing was a Dave creation that used a sweep that he liked from a Phenom. We both thought that plane was very solid and presented well in the air. The airfoil for this wing ispretty thin and came after some thought and modificationsof the new Spark Evo. The stab is anhedral and ispatterned after the Spark Dynamic with no step. We prefer the thicker airfoil stab to add some stability.
So all in all it's all a bit experimental but looks really good so far and we'll hope for the best. My goal is not have to add too many Doo Dad's to get it to fly right.
