Default RE: Fiberglassing wing joints (do you do it?)

Balsa Bandit,

Welcom to the "Dark Side" (Just kidding you, as I wrote on you previous ARf Comments)!

Yes, I always fiberglass my center sections, espeically if it's a model with the gear mounted in the wing!.

To the gentleman who said, that this defeats the purpose of an ARF, I disagree. I build ARF's because I have neither the time nor the time to build kits anymore (Kids, wife, dogs, grad school). ARF's for me are like a work in progress, they just need to be refined and tweaked. Do what you want, there are many ARF's out there without fiberglass center sections. You'll will also find there were a few ARF's on the makket, that experienced wing failures, which was solved when fiberglassed was applied.

Welcome to the Dark Side!
