Wings cut. Retract plate added.Another plate is added to the top of the wing and 5mm dowels tie both surfaces together so that landing loads are spread through the whole wing...hopefully!

Wing skins made from six sheets of 4" balsa and 1 sheet of 3". This is for just one half, so a total of 12 x 4" and 2 x 3" sheets in total...it's a big wing!

Tape sheets together with masking tape. Turn over and use the tape as a hinge to open the joint. Aliphatic glue then pinned flat for a couple of hours. Unpin and remove tape sooner rather than later. Leave it too long and the tape sometimes stays stuck to the joint.

The good side is the taped side.
