Depends on whether there's dihedral and, if so, how much. <div>

It's typical Bridy wing, the wings are tapered, but set flat on top with the taper all on the bottom..
I'll do some measuring later and give the possible weight and get some more advice.
Well, I need to raise the wing enough to put the tube in, fill in the sides of the fuse where it's been routed out and reinforce for the wing tube and fill in the bottom of the fuse with access from the top to get at things inside.
