Looks great and I'me looking forward to your progress reports! Interesting that you use 3/32” balas on the wing. Are you planning a painted finish? I’ve always used 1/16” but if I plan on a painted finish I use epoxy to glue the wing skins on to keep the seams from showing under the paint. When I Monokote cover wings I use Dave Brown’s contact glue. Do you know if the Tigertail wing is an 18% root - 15% tip taper?
Yes 3/16 wing and stab skins with epoxy as the adhesive. My favorite is Southern/Dave Brown Prods. "Southerns's Sorghum but thats been a while as in back in 1986 the stuff works great and to this day no lifting of the sheet from the core..The CATCH was you get one(1) try at positioning the skins -
