It looks good, I’m very happy with the result, I think it will make a great wing !!
It tipped the scales at 126 grams which is not bad considering the ailerons are already hinged and there’s no covering to go on
A little weight will come off the bare wing as the training edge needs to be trimmed and there’s a little sanding to be done on the LE and the ailerons need to be cut free.
Then the weight that needs to go on, is the dowels to hold it to the fuse and two 5g servos, their linkages, fairing and control horns. I think it will end up lighter than the prototype wing which weighs in at 180 grams all finished.
Here’s some pics of it, just out of the bag this morning.
