Default strength of glue joint?

Lots of progress. Wing is done.
Next issue is gluing the pod onto the support.
Original plan was to run the new ply all the way down into the fuse. the full length of the post.
this would require modifying the way the wing fits around the post. I didn't want to do that..

Now that I put the wing in position there is not as much of the post to glue to as I thought.
About 2.25" of post.

Is that enough area to glue for this purpose? Wrap in Fiberglass? Drill and pin a couple of dowels through the posts?



thanks Steve
