Default RE: Designed a Balsa DLG

Had the surgery yesterday and all went well But my head is still spinning from the meds and it's a lot harder to move around then expected. So the building will wait for a few more days.

Made a final desicion on the wings, they will have a spar square to the fuse and the leading edge and trailing edge will both have a slight taper.

As I have never built or even flown a DLG glider. What would make a good launching peg? My thought is a short piece of caron arrow. But would a few pieces of Carbon Tow shaped into a peg work? Balsa? Spurce?

The pain pills are working so it's time for a nap.
