Default RE: Wing area question, again

Well, as mentioned, the designer did not hit my number exactly. I think he either used a planimiter or calculated it via DMD.

There is a few dimensions which run out, past the wingtip. The tips are rounded. The area comes a bit closer extending to the estimate cited on the plan if this dead area is taken into account.

I think they have a different way of measuring area.
