Don't know a thing..
These Wendel Hostetler plans were drawn back in 1979 or something like that.... the laser cut kit is cut from the plans... the plans were drawn using two heavy plywood sleave/spars for attaching the outer wing panels. Not a fan of that approach nor am I enamored with the 1/8" piano wire loop used to hold the wing to the fuse.... so, spent a good bit of today trying to come up with a better approach. Carbon wing tube and a little different way to attach the wing tube framing down to the fuse....

Got a few test pcs cut but I think this will work.... more to follow.

That's how things were done back then. That was considered modern.

Very cool! I have plans and all glass etc for the new RV-4 as well. Cool plane, lots of old school heavy design. I'm actually thinking of doing foam wings on that.
