Default Building a wing

I thought I might start a thread for people interested in sharing their experiences building a straight across wing for a light park flyer. (Well, I also started it because I'm planning to build one too )
Anyway, Any and all Ideas are appreciated.
A couple questions I have for starters,
How thick should the wing be?
How wide should it be?
and what shape should it look like?
please include wing length so we can determine length:width:thickness ratio.
(Now is a good time to show off your planes' wings )
..........
Sorry, I should specify: Not JUST a wing, but the whole thing rudder/elevators all, but just working on the wing part.
Also, what I mean by straight across, is a 1 part wing, instead of the wing as 2 parts.
