Look at page 9 and page 80 in the manual. It should give you an idea of how this is done. The glass on the wing should have the lines in the glass running at 45 degree angles across the spars. This is for greater torsional strength that should help hold down any twisting motion in the wing. Cutting and laying the glass on in this manner will require that you have several seams over the length of the wing. Where more than one layer is called for, as on the lead edge, stagger the seams so you don't end up with a big "hump" with all the overlaps in one spot. I suspect that your KR will not fall out of the air if the glass is not laid up that way but if you can increase the strength without additional weight, why not. Save all the triangle pieces of glass that result from cutting the glass "on the bias" as there will be lots of uses for them during other parts of construction. Larry Flesner
