The leading, trailing and tips balsa added a lot of strength.

The edges of the sheeting are epoxied to each other, the leading and trailing balsa and the tips.

Per the instructions, the three pieces of foam were to be glued, glassed then the wing cut in half. I
just sheeted before cutting. Instructions also say that no sheeting and no leading edge balsa are
needed if the engines are to be .049.

Pressing down on the wing shows that the weakest point is the center, not where my sheeting
joint is. I had my son do it with his eyes closed so he didn't see the sheeting joint. I agree with
what he felt.

I just think it's gonna be fine this time. I won't do it again though.
Thanks!
Mike
