RE: What is this ?
I'm sorry , this is one half of the so called wing , the total length is 50 inches on the trailing edge. I was just wondering is there a name for this shapesd wing ? 
The other side is done pics to come soon.

What you have there is an angled wing. I've done a swept wing on a biplane I made once. Was tricky to get it right, and to get the center strong enough.

Fiend,
What is the profile of the wing? It looks like it has a sharp peak at the spar. This might fly, but it would be much more thrilling than I believe you planned. Got a pic of the profile?

If it is a sharp point, the air flow will not be smooth (will "break up") and you will soon have more to do than you thought possible. Rounded (curved is a better way to describe it) is best but you can get away with a nice flier if it has two edges (a flat top) front and back of the current "peak".
