beautiful job dave - two things to think about adding:
- "corner smoothing mod" - adding a little gusset on the top side of the sparbox, from the corner to the root rib - if you notice, that top corner on the sparbox sits "proud" from the line that the tedlar will naturally take to follow the wing ribs. add a piece of aluminum, make it smooth, and then the tedlar won't have a point load there - many holes in many lazair wings there
- aileron spar rib supporter - where the aileron spar connects to the foam rib, add a piece of aluminum above and below this point, so that as the aileron rib applies load to this rib, the rib doesn't break right at the attach point - do this on the opposite side of the aileron spar to stiffen up that rib.
