Now I understand.....yes, it is possible to glass them off the plane if you have built the frame rigid enough. The way I am doing mine is to have the frame of the wing mounted to the stub wing. The aluminum outboard wing tanks are then installed and floxed and foamed in place. My tanks take up half of each outboard wing. Once the tanks are installed the frame will be so rigid that it will not twist or distort during installation of the skins. By doing mine this way, the bolt pattern will match exactly with the stub WAF's.....but I do like your idea of having Langford send me his so I can get in the air sooner. I even offered to buy them from him two years ago when he left his soldering iron on and caught his fuselage on fire. For some reason he would not sell them to me. Must have been one of those April 1st things or either he was worried about liability issues.
