Default RE: "Shear Web" Question?

i've built planes with weds between the spar. i think it was 4* and an eagle2
most if not all had verticle grain and they all state to have the grain
go verticle.

on 4* .60. the shear wed is one big long piece that's been slotted already and
fit between the spar. obviously the grain is going horizantal. but it's a perfect fit
and a secondary spar is added

only plane i've built without any mention of webs was the rekasha..
i slapp webs in for wieght any how .lol

my lastest kit... a GP p51 verticle grains for front and back out to the retracts.
i think it has a modified ultrasport's wing.

weds in front and behind the spar is so much easier to install than trying to
make a perfect wed between the spar
