That decision made, I have been taking a closer look at the plans regarding the timber I need to order. I will be using the laminated bent spar and as described in Mark Langford's site regarding its use http://home.hiwaay.net/~langford/kopinion.html , I like the idea of extending the flaps beyond the stub wing. If I am to taper the the spars from root to tip in a straight line, also doing away with the duplicate wing root template on the end of the stub wing, do I have to bend the laminated rear spar forward at the root so the two meet at the tip 15" apart as per the plans? If so, how do I bend the 1/4" x 2" laminations about the 2" width? Cheers Darren Crompton AUSTRALIA The spar center sections must be the same length. My spars were bent so that the stubs bend up AFTER the outside fuselage wall. The rear spar must have the same bottom length center section. Mine was flat for 44 inches, main and rear.
