Default RE: Icepoint Wing Failure

The other guy who had the Icepoint at the Andersonville contest even talked about running a strip of carbon fibre the length of the wing where the spar should be to strengthen the wing.

If your going to reglass the bottom of the wing you might as well remove the covering on top of the wing and reglass that as well. Your not going to see the top of the wing, which is covered by the fuse and this will help when you get into inverted flight. The top of the wing along with absence of a ply spare is to me what caused the Andersonville crash.
