Main wing construction | ||||||
The main wing is built mostly out of wood. The spar, the ribs, the skins and control surfaces are all wood. The space between the ribs is filled up with foam material. The plywood skin is vacuumbagged to this structure. It should make for a very smooth skin: no rivets, no sagging fabric, just a smooth glued plywood surface. | ||||||
