Just thought I would post a couple photos of the new wing for my Tingle slope racer.
3 tapers per side at 1.5metres, MG06 airfoil, carbon and glass with live hinges.
Now only 100 or so projects to go.
:)

Very nice! The multiple tapers make the wing look quite sleek.
Are you using Phil Barnes-like methods with carbon/S-glass cloth?

This wing uses woven carbon cloth on a 45 degree bias with a layer of light glass over it to fill the carbon weave.
I glued some cabon laminates into slits I cut into the top and bottom surface to stiffen it up a bit.
I believe Phil uses 80/20 uni on his wings with a carbon tube as a spar.
