Just bagged the wing.
Thanks to Dan for the blue cores, with wing rod bores at a dihedrahl, plywood roots and basswood tips!
Cut brass wing rod tubes to length mounted beefy magnets on correct polarity to the next size brass tube for a slip fit and a CA joint, keeping the Wrod tube virgin at the exact length of current Wrod length (Dixie Pins). Work Wrod tube length backward from dihedrahl wing joint where the plywood sub root spar supports the Wrod(end of magnet attach plywood subspar). Slice off wing root foam to add plywood Wroot to match end of wing tube to match wing rod mounted in fuse+nylon washers. All cuts need corresponding alignment with fuse for square. Dan cuts wings very square and straight thanks Dan!
Used some carbon ribbon and spread tow to reinforce the Wrod spar and the trailing edges, a couple of strips of cabon and a strip of Kevlar 3m 77 to the leading edge then 1.5oz glass on the mylars followed by 3 oz carbon weave on the glass . Used slow hardner from West Systems and the 105 resin.

Here are some of my updates. She is now a pitcheron with an elevator. AUW 65-68oz carbon wing rod option.

Cleaned fuse to install 2 KST X10 150in-oz servos on third bearing frames. KST's are mounted forward on fuse walls.

Slipped a Greedy 2700mah lipo and the rx into the nose strapped to a plastic strip.

Mounted a switch and the charge cables to the top of the bling.

A KST HS08 b 74in-oz servo is mounted aft for the elevator.
