I'm quite happy today. Got the first wing panel out of the bag and am very pleased with the results. Without any other work other then to remove the masking tape that held the seams the wing weighs 145 grams. I have also been working on refining my wing socket process and feel I have some forward progress. Could still use some work but resulted in some useable parts. How about 5 grams for a socket that is still 2" too long? I have also been working on composite flat panels for things like root ribs, wing dihedral braces, servo mounts, battery trays etc. these are very light weight and have great strength.
