BT Mosquito Wing Divider
I'm scratch building Brian Taylor's 81" Mossy (finally) from plans I purchased over 10 yrs ago.
I will be using 91 4s; and have a question for some modification help.
The only draw back for this plane is the one-piece wing. Has anyone out there made the wing sectional, either 2 or 3 piece?
I can't seem to find a way to contact Mr Taylor for this so it will be up to someone out there with exprienced re-engineering skills.
Second question is: the plans state reversing one of the engine rotations - is this necessary?
Thanks, John

John, I have made the modifications for a two piece wing, using a 7/8 diameter alum wing tube.
Be glad to send you the rib modifications.
Attached pic of some of the ribs.
Also if you want the ribs laser cut I can quote for you.
