Has anyone ever built a two piece wing with the "center section" in one wing and the other wing with only the outer panel? The archives have a msg from David B Schober dated Dec 03, 1998 indicating such an arrangement is simpler to build and lighter. The weight of such a wing setup may be slightly off center but not enough to notice I would surmise. I've about finished my ribs and am trying to decide how to go from here. Anybody with a two-piece wing?? Are you still there David Schober?________________________________________________________________________________

My humble opinion is to build one or the other as designed; both are very good. ________________________________________________________________________________

But I'll be darned If I know his name. The cabines taper tothe center at the wing. It was a steel tube fuselage. I once read (oldissue of the IPA news letter) of a 2 piece wing where the center sectionwas built into one panel and the other panel was joined outboard of thecabine struts te same way a 3 piece wing would be joined to a centersection....strange. I checked the last roster Grant put out, no DavidSchober. Leon S. ________________________________________________________________________________
