Default RE: Typhoon

The good thing about building from plans is always learning something new.
I almost got myself in trouble here when pressing the skin to the wing because of the huge difference between the root and the wingtip, the clamps really should be calibrated for best result.
This wing doesn't look like anything I have done before.
I have never before pressed a skin to a wing that tapers so much towards the wingtip. Also the ply rib for the tube really made things interesting, creating a hard spot in the foam. Using springs on the clamps should help even out the pressure.
