light wood and no more than 1 pound density foam core. Make sure the sheeting
for a wing weighs in at around 40 grams but no more than 50 grams each. Be very
fussy about the sleeve fit into the foam core; glue makes for a very poor
filler.The lightest sleeves are probably the PBG glass. I capture mine on
the top and bottom with 1/8" balsa spars, full length plus 3 inches,
rather than with a vertical lite ply piece at the end of the tube. Lighter and
stronger when finished.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

you don't go hog wild on theglue, the typical 500 sq inch panel will come in at
around 8 1/2 to 9 ozs. I use no balsa tip blocks on my wings, just an end plate
of lite ply that adds maybe 5 grams. Of course wing panels are cut with that in
mind. Lite ply has proven far more durable on inevitable runway scrapes
and more accurate than balsa tip blocks since there's no shaping.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><font size=2 color=black
face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:black'>As far
as removing some of the foam via honeycombing, I've done that too and saved
another ounce or so per panel. However at 9 ozs the wings will fly great. These
will typically finish out at around 12 1/2 -13 1/2 ozs each ready for
equipment. There's nothing wrong with that weight. If more weight loss is
desired, one should look elsewhere. There are plenty of places to remove weight.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
