While our shaper Richie was busy finishing the fuselage plug, our designer Georg has started work on the wings. The wings will be built using our usual technique: foam core, carbon joiner and main spar, carbon inserts, abachi and glass coverage, before spray painting the entire wing. As we want to go for a light-weight glider, we will be saving on the thickness of the wing joiner (using spare “old” wing joiners that were left over from earlier projects well over a decade ago), as well as on the amount of carbon going into the wing. And of course we’re doing six control surfaces, no airbrakes and a modern thin wing profile.<\/p>\n

We’ve spent a few days cutting foam. Georg, the super fast-builder as always, then went full-speed ahead and built his wings in little over a week. They’re ready to go to the paintshop, and weigh little over 800gr each (for a 4.6m wingspan aircraft!). Andi and I hope to start building our wings together next week.<\/p>\n
