Default RE: joining wing center section

The cut was from the leading edge to the spar and from the trailing edge to the spar. The spar didn't even get a scratch. A wedge was cut to bring the two halves to proper alignment and epoxied in place.

The second attempt at fiber glassing, doing the top of the wing, came out much better. The first material that I used may not have been fiberglass. The lesson here is don't stay out of the shop for 6 months and forget what is where. If the camera does ok there will be some interesting pictures to post tomorrow. But then the weather man is promising 70 degrees and low winds for tomorrow afternoon.

Thanks for the help. It looks as though there is something to learn about how center sections are stressed.
