mgnostic thank you very much for your input. That link will be a great resource for me.

I believe my wings converging taper won't allow me to add a balsa skin, and the notch at the thickness of skin is an afterthought I also had. It will work great for the controll surfaces if I redo those. Great input 👌

As for the complex wing shape, I'm thinking the dope and paper covered with fiberglass will work for the LE. I may also try foam inserts between the ribs along the LE sanded to the foil profile then covered with either the monokote or some fiberglass.

I'll definitely take a look at that link you sent me to see if there's any other ideas I can come up with here.

As for the servos, I will simply flip the wires on one of each 180 flipped servo so it rotates in sync with the adjacent servo. Maybe I'll run into issues when I get there, but definitely a good thought!
