a) yes I need to do a lot more homework and reading.
b) my prof. can help me a lot more once the class starts

Okay, this is what I was really getting at. I thought that if you left the foam in that you could make a wing without spars. Why do you need a bed if you are vacuum bagging the wing?

This is what I was planning on doing. Ummm, I'm not sure what we have besides fiberglass and carbon fiber, but the fiberglass is the cheapest.

Okay, I was confused. I was going to use a male mold and just leave the foam core in the wing. I know I can build an accurate inner foam core because I can input airfoil coordinates into SolidWorks...

I am speaking of the self supporting structure. Thanks for the info, I will check the website. You've been very helpful.

I was thinking about leaving some or all of the foam in if I CNC the wing. Is that a terrible idea?

I don't know about the bagging method. Vacuum bagging I guess. Are there other kinds or various versions of vacuum bagging?

I suppose there might be some Ansys involved for structural analysis,...

BMatthews-

I liked your idea of copying the moment arms of the Spirit Elite. I've found some info on this but don't want to spend the money to buy the plane... I'm in college and poor.

I'll...

Learning to fly it is not a primary or even secondary goal. This is something to think about after the project is done, but I also don't want an airfoil that is impossible for a beginner to fly. I...

I'm doing a composites project at school and will be building a 2 meter sailplane with ailerons, flaps, rudder, and elevator. I have access to CNC, can model in SolidWorks, have access to...
