Carbon Fiber and Wings

[Ted Sander]

Yes, I'm behind in building - blame it on Gordon Anderson!

 

But, the burning question of the moment:

Ready to start sheeting my wing cores.  I've got miles of CF tow.  Do I make
a very shallow groove from root to tip, and lay it out thin and ribbon like?
Or, do I twist it into a round, rod like shape, and lay it in a deeper
groove.  Binder will be Gorilla Glue, just like used on the rest of the
skin.

 

Or, given that this is a plug in wing, I just skip it, because the wing will
be strong enough anyway?

 

(Homemade plug-in cores, generally following the Focus layout - balsa sheet,
fiberglass finish)
