Default Predator

Hi,

I'm rebuilding a damaged Predator and the question I have is
regarding the spar. The original was lost and I'm faced with replacing
it. The problem, specifically,is I cannot remember what the original
was made of.
The ope in the wingroot is rectangular about 7x4mm .
I attach shots of my solution.
I cut a spar with a rectangular slot (with my laser) and "filled " the
slot with a carbon rod.
Feels fairly rigid-the proof is in the pudding. Will let you know.
