Default RE: Drawing for foam Integral cores?

Joe,
It's more of just a sketch that shows the wood thickness for the LE, TE, and so on. Mickey should be at the D4 Championship and you can just ask him there. The aileron will be the same size as the one on your composite wing. I capped mine with 1/4" Contest so naturally, you'd have to remove 1/4" from the LE of the ailerons and another 1/4" from the face of the cutout to accommodate the wood. All of this happens after you've sheeted the wings. The root rib is 1/8" lite ply as is the false rib on the outer edge of the tube socket. I don't remember what Mickey specified for the wing tip of the LE of the wing. Hopefully he will. Mickey and I are probably the only two guys who actually built wings from the cores he cut. I built 3 Integrals with his wings and Mickey builds almost every plane out of Chicago except for Dave Snow's stuff.

I got a set of ''Micky?'' foam cores for my Integral over the weekend. I thought I remember Verne saying there was a drawing that should go with it. Does anyone have it? I am looking forward to building my first set of wings, once I've got my Integral together and flying with stock wings.
