Default Composite racing wing

Once again, great job!!!

I am in the middle of making a plugs for my 35% Extra 300SX.
The plug for the fuse is 89" long and is a monster, while my wing plug is has a 44.5" span and is 23" at the root and 13.5" at the tip. The wing plug will be used to make both the right and left wing, so the plug has to be perfectly symetrical and is taking a long time to produce. I am making hollow core wings and am very excited about them.

The fuse and wings will be Nomex Honeycomb sandwiched with 1.4oz prepreg glass on a 45°.

Once the plugs are done, then I can experiment with using contest balsa and other materials as the core material to cut down the cost.

Keep up the good work!!!
