There are a few ways I can arrange the taper of the wings and I am not certain if there will be any aerodynamic differences between the two options. Originally I was planning on having a leading edge taper only on the inner panels and double taper on the outter panels. However it occurred to me that I could also set up the inner panels to have some sweep that would set the outter panels with leading edge taper only. If I do the sweep option, the stabs would be set to a small amount of sweep as well. Again I'm not sure if there would be any adverse aerodynamic consequence to this or not but IMO it would certainly look cooler. The pics should illustrate the differences.
I think sweep gives a bit broader CG range. And I think it looks cooler as well.
