Make some decisions regarding strength vs. weight, cost, and preferred construction methods:


  1. Will both carbon rods be used, and glued permanently within the structure of the wing?
  2. Will the drill rod(s) that come with the wing jig be used during construction, and slid out after sheeting the wing? If so, be very careful not to get any glue on the drill rods. Otherwise, when removing the drill rod, ribs may be split/damaged when drops of hardened glue are forced through the holes that have no additional clearance for this increased mass that must pass through.
