Racer II, I oops, is it safe to fly?

Matt
IMHO you should be fine. Your not running a Nelson which makes a big difference. I would add another layer of 2oz to the top and let it go. The .007 carbon would not IMHO stop the wing ...

Skin hinge questions on Racer II

I have tried both the drill press and the router thing. The drill press in my opinion is the only way to go. It's easy, a cinch to set up in the press, and the torque of the drill press makes it a...

Joining wing halves

This is what I do.

First, you need to trim the excess glass flush with the flange. It should be a nice even cut perfect with edge of the flange.
