Default RE: Shear Webbing

Diagonal web "truss" bracing that I mentioned earlier supports that 45 degree stress as well as the vertical and span wise. The size and density of the brace material can be matched to the level of support required, and glue is only required at the end points. I've used 1/16" sheet webbing many times before... never again. Faster, stronger, lighter. Works for me. The Tsunami wing I mentioned earlier is a high aspect very thin wing (for a sport pattern model) that I fly very fast. No problemo.....
