<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>My last set of wings I cored out around the fat
part of the wing between leading edge and wing tube and behind the wing tube and
saved .5 oz per core. Some of the guys that honeycomb the whole wing
are saving about 1 to 1.25 oz per panel. But they generally glass
the wing and paint it too. I hollow out the wing tips then cap them
with 1/8 lt balsa wood and lighten the root rib also. Overall this way I
save about 1.25 per wing panel from the regular way. </FONT></DIV>

for the current wing plan forms, but we did a bunch of tests on the older Arch
Nemesis wings and at the time…it was a waste of time. Granted…we weren’t
quite as close to the weight limit then… but all in all we saved on average
less than 1oz per panel in the finished product…about 1.75oz TOTAL in the
plane. Not bad if it was quicker to do, but at the time it was a
lot of work for very little gain.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
