Pattern wing design

[randy10926 at comcast.net]

I was thinking of joining the wing halfs and making a one-piece wing.  That 
would have the effect of reducing the wing span.

Partially I am trying to learn what makes out planes work and partially I am 
trying to come up with something I could build at a reduced cost; so I can get 
them out to potential pattern flyers in my area.  Probably put them up for sell 
at the local RC auction.
