The wing skins were 30g prior to sanding and they are now at 26g with 0.2oz carbon veil applied - to the inside.

Brian, the panel weights are about what I thought you'd get. So 2 skins plus the core you are at just about 75 to 80 grams each panel. Expect about 20-25 grams of glue and these should come in at around 100 grams each panel. Each wing most likely will weigh about 200 to 230 grams plus center reinforcement. I think these are plenty light enough to this stage. Depending on type of finish, I believe they shouldn't be much heavier than 330-350 grams, ready for servo and linkage. Fine job!
Let me suggest that you go over the veil carefully and glue down any bubbles.
