REFLECTOR:Wing Voids in Shaw's Wings

[Ronnie Brown]

Yes, that is correct.  As I understand it, Alan used female molds similar to
the way the fuselage is done, except the wings are solid so I would imagine
it is difficult to get the triax to stay against the mold when the foam is
laid in.  There is a scattering of 25 or so of these large pits over about a
5 foot section of the leading edge on the left wing and 3 similar pits on
the leading edge of the right side winglet.  I'm sure these would have
popped if I had put the final paint on it too, so I'm happy I waited.  I
still have a bit of right wing heavy so I need to put a shim in which will
require a little rework of the wing to strake joint.

Ronnie

| Yeah I thought that odd too?  Did the rain bust the skin over the voids?
