RE: Checkerboard Air Classic Trainer
Wing is built the same as any kit and then joined with epoxy.
The wing is a semi symetrical airfoil that can be built with a single servo or with one in each wing half.
There are some plywood ribs in the wing half, 1 at the root, 1 at the the tip, and 2 in the wing half center for the dual servo option.
The balance of the ribs are nicely cut balsa with lightening holes.
For the way I fly and the engine going on this plane, I have opted for the dual servo placement.
I will put the plane through some tough flying and expect it to deliver. From what I see it will be very durable but good planning never hurts.
I will deviate very little from the plans, but will double up on the shear webs in the first few bays.
I'll also be sheeting the inner wing different than the plans show, and glassing the center section with 4 inch glass cloth rather than the 1 inch included in the hardware pack.
