So a redesign has been done.

1. The new wing is the same overall size.
2. The airfoil has been changed to an under cambered airfoil.
3. 1'' wing tube for ease of assembly.
4, Ailerons moved inboard one bay, 5 bays wide and 4'' deep instead of 6'' deep.
5. One piece wing tip braced back into the wing two ribs.
6. Wing wires are required.

I have completed the drawings for these changes and I have cut the left wing panel.
The new wing build begins today.

I like the looks of the undercambered wing much better![8D] I was thinking...If you hinged the ailerons at the top and covered over the gap with the covering, the ailerons wouldn't be so noticable and it might look more realistic. Anyway, all my 1/3 scale planes have thin airfoils and functional flying wires and it has never been a problem.
