Wing joining time! I used the balsa wedge supplied in the kit, epoxied it in, then lined up the leading edges perfectly straight, then waited. Once that was dry, I reinforced top and bottom with a strip of carbon fiber. I wish I'd thought of it earlier in the build, but better late than never! After that was set, I covered the entire center section with 5 oz. fiberglass, using finishing resin. This is the first time I've done fiberglass, other than a few strips on other planes, and I'm happy with the way it turned out.
