I don't know. I just helped someone here closout their wing on a Glasair.
Having seen what is required to get all of the ribs exactly the right size to
correctly fit the pre made wing skin I am a lot happier with the Europa
method of laying up the Europa wings. If Ivan could supply wing cores without
warps then the job would be simple! My next big wing layup is helping a
firend with a pair of Windrush glider wings which are built in the same way
as the Europa - right down to the biax cloth. The main difference is that the
wingspan is 48 feet! Should give me plenty of practice for the Europa glider
wings :-)
