Default RE: The Evolution of the Foam Flip 3D Flipper

The basic wing is still a bit flexible even with the carbon rod until the next steps were complete.

It is amazing how well the cap strip tied everything together and really strengthened this wing torsionally.
First I cut four inendical rectangles to fit from the end cap inside lip to the center of the wing and a bit more than from the LE strip to the notch on the Ribs for its rear anchor. Then I held each cap strip against the LE strip, folded it back and marked it at the wing root notch and the wing tip notch in thos ribs and cut this piece for the angle to follow the carbon tube.
Then I attached the front of the Cap strip all the way along the LE strip with CA and accelerant.
Next I attached the Cap strip to its centermost rib and working outward attached it to all of the ribs and LE support ribs.
What did we do without CA before.
