Default RE: Lancair Wing Failures

As far as glassing the wing joint, I got some 4" glass cloth at the LHS. They had a couple of different weaves and I got the coars weave, kinda heavy looking compared to the other. I then stripped back the monokote to match the cloth width. Used the hot soldering iron method the cut the Monokote nad it work well. I decided to use epoxy since I did't have any FG resin. I coated the bare wood with exopy (slow dry), layed the glass cloth on and put epoxy over the top. The very front of the wing that butts up the the fuse got covered also. I did not cover the area where the LG struts connect .
