Very interesting Papaone.
So what you are saying is that you reduce the cord of the original wing thus creating the thicker TE's.
What's the reduction... a couple of cm along the span? Quite considerable if so.
I have noticed that certain French Oxaly's seem to have, what appear to be smaller wings. I could be an illusion but it is backed up by what you're saying.
This smaller wing theory is something that has intrigued me for some time. I believe that todays, super large, super light and super powered F3A planes just don't need as much wing as we've seen used in the passed... a smaller wing easing the transitional differences to KE. In other words a reducing the lift differential between flying on the wing, and flying on the body.

Hello
To obtain thick trailing edge, we have to cut it. So incidence of the wing is the same.
I think there is difference thickness between personal wing's CPLR/wing's ZNline and TSComposite 's wing
because fabrication of TS Composite is made in mold. It's easier to do normal trailing edge in mold.
