Wing cores

I do something a little different than most here. I like to honeycomb the outer 1/3 of my wing panels. It reduces mass at the tips, and makes snapping and spinning manuevers more controllable. That's the theory anyway, it seems to work in practical application.

Otherwise, just sheet as normal. Note that you can't use a vacuum on a honeycombed wing panel, it will either distort or crush.



Mike,
When I vacum bag a wing I have it in the shucks when I put it in the bag. Would the honey combing still distort? I've bagged a lot of wings but never honeycombed.

TIA
