Re: What do you think of my new wing?

Yep, so far that is it, today I will start molding it in. I wanted to make sure the glue was fully cured before I put anything on top of it. The glue insures that I won't have cracking issues, I redrilled the bolt holes, but they are only good for holding it while the glue cures.

Also, when you mold the wing into the trunk like this, it won't be able to breathe unless you drill up into it from the bottom of the trunk. Hollow fiberglass needs to breathe, otherwise it will crack when the air inside heats up. I've seen cheap wings without air holes grow 1/2" in thickness just from temperature change.
