Fantastic!!! Thank You sooo much for sharing your photos/experience with us!! Your workmanship looks Awesome!! This is very inspiring for me in particular since the Aurora is my #1 all time favorite...I hope to join you soon in getting one of these baby's in the air!!

(edited: Didn't see the weight of your wings in earlier post)
You mention using high density foam for your wing cores and now you feel your wings may be a little heavy??
I know light wings are important and rolling maneuvers are really effected by moment of inertia...Other than that I'm defiantly no foam wing guru as I'm just getting started messing with them myself...To me your's seem like they are really nice...26oz seems light to me.. (I wonder if your just playin'..What would you expect them to weigh??)

I have yet to sheet a set of wings but I have a few sets that are already done by the factory or another builder that I bought airplanes from...I thought I'd weigh what I have and maybe it would give you some idea where you stand as far as weight of your wings...These are all one piece wings which are in similar stage of construction as your's appear to be...I know this will not be super accurate but at least you will have a ballpark idea of what other foam wings are weighing in at...


Modeltech Calypso wings (Factory Sheeted which I joined):
wingspan: 64"
wing area: 730 sq in
weight of my wings: 24.8oz (note: no retract's..switched to fixed gear and patched holes)


Philips Aircraft Conquest IV: (Sheeted by other builder)
wingspan: 65"
wing area: 790 sq in
weight of my wings: 30.3oz (finished very similar to your photos)


ZigZaw Atlanta: (Factory Sheeted..Joined by another builder) (note: retracts moved from factory location to use a t'dragger)
wingspan: 65.3
wing area: 775 sq in
weight of my wings: 28.4oz


Desire 60: (Sheeted by another builder..Not joined yet..Very Very light wood used!! These wings look and feel extraordinarily nice!!) (not joined yet)
wingspan: 64"
wing area: 850 sq in
weight of my wings: 21.1oz (plus materials to join wing halves..I est 23oz) (Makes me a believer in using Contest Grade Balsa, Light foam & Honeycombing the cores)


The Aurora has a wingspan of 67" with wing area of 775 sq in...With your weight being 26 oz I'd say your in Awesome shape!!

Your wing looks Beautiful!! As does the rest of your airplane!!

You could always do another set of super light wings later if you wanted...Maybe do some honeycomb cutouts and all that neat stuff... he he

Just My Opinions..Again I'm no Expert!!

I'm Really Jealous!!
