REFLECTOR: Wing TE question

[nmflyer1 at aol.com]

Matt, 

I built my own wings as well. I trimmed the back to 1/2" of double thickness (behind the foam). 
I did it with a handheld (open) hacksaw blade holder. Worked fine, but you have to "snap" off the cutting edge with a pair of pliers about every 6" of cut or so. That Triax is incredibly abrasive!. Going slow by hand you can cut each wing in about 20 minutes, and get a nice straight line.

As I ready the wing for filling, I have a question on the size of the trailing edge glass to glass joint.? Both my wing and winglet TEs are 7/8 inch from the where the foam ends? to the TE. Is this about right?? Or should that be less?? It seams to be a large gap to fill.
