I hacked out the existing formers that were meant for fabric, and replaced them with 3x8 square tubing that matches the airfoil shape of the wing root.

I used a 1/2" square tube as the rear crossbar. Plexiglas or Lexan will cover the entire surface.


To do:

  • Turn fuselage upside down and finish weld the formers to the posts.
  • Fill the front round tube stubs while welding.
  • Weld large stringer saddles onto crossbar.
  • Weld tabs to inner formers
  • Drill outer formers and rivnut
  • Buy plexiglas
