Jerry or Rodney,Would eliminating 2 bays from the end of each wing(the wing tips aren't on yet) and making the wingspan about 12" shorter,be ok seeing that there is damage to each wing in that area.That would also make the ailerons shorter.If I could get the dihedral braces out or just cut them off and could find a way to drill the holes equaly for tubes to make a 2 piece bolt on wing with little or no dihedral,how many ribs would have to be drilled through?Would the ribs have to be reinforced with an added layer of balsa or thin plywood?Asking all these questions because a new wing kit is $65.00,over 1/2 the cost of a new airplane kit.
