Wing Construction

We began construction of the new wing on Friday (January 25th) after all the ribs were waterjet. The new wing is build out of plywood and balsa and hardwood rib caps. So far it seems to be significantly stronger than our previous wing. Building a wing from scratch can be a rather tedious and time consuming process, in the last two days we have put in 20+ hours building the wing, and it’s now nearing completion. The control surfaces are the last major component left to build. Below are some pictures of the wing (for more pictures visit our flickr).

By having a three panel wing, transportation is greatly simplified.
