The wing is now complete other than servo pocket covers,hingeing aileron's,glassing center joing and final sanding. I am very happy with how the wing came out especially considering this is my 1st foam wing. I used Gorilla Glue for the entire wing build and the stuff works great. The glue foamed up and filled all the little gaps around the landing gear block cutouts and made a very strong bond as well as the wing center joint. I will now set the wing off to the side and finish up the tail feathers and start construction of the fuselage.
I will have to move the firewall back 3/4" to mount the OS .52 4-stroke and maintain the stock cowling location, this shoud be a easy modification to the build. The remainder of the fuselage will be built per plans.
Here are a few pics of the finished wing, the wing is perfectly straight and very light and strong. Foam wing to have their advantages.
