My 7th grade students made their first big mistake on our Piet project.They cut one of the wing spars =BD=94 too short. Lesson learned-measure manytimes, cut once. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to proceed?Obviously, one expensive option is to purchase a new spar. How bad is theoption to make all the spars =BD=94 too short leading to a wingspan that is 1=94shorter. Will that give us a higher cruise speed (ha, ha).________________________________________________________________________________

Just my opinion, Scott, but the only thing it really affects is theattachment of the wing-tip bow. Make a longer bracket to put the bow in theright place and move on. Gary BootheNX308MB

Scott, I would either do as you suggested -- make all the spars 1/2 inch shorter or, on the tip end of that spar, glue on a 1/2- inch piece to attach to the wing tip. The spars are cut down to 1 inch wide at that point anyway. I believe the glue joint would be about as strong as if the spar were one piece. Any of you engineers out there disagree?
