Finished uprights and bases with adjustment tie rod. The tie rod kinda hangs out there, adding some drag for sure. Might need to streamline the system later.
Templates for the end plates.

Awesome stuff. I think for being a wing with surch purpose, it will look pretty stylish too!

It's .032" 5052.
Yeah I'm happy with how it's turning out in terms of looks. There are some good looking wings out there, and I didn't want to just knock them off. So I'm trying to do my own thing and still make it easy on the eyes.

I did a little more work on the foam core. I'm kinda disappointed with the overall fit and finish of the core concept in general. This has been a learning experience for sure. It's hard to get a nice smooth uniform airfoil surface when you have a handmade aluminum frame and six separate pieces of foam all stuck together.
The body filler, Bondo, ate the foam to a very small degree, leaving some residual low spots. I'll need to figure out a way to smooth them. I should have used something more like a non-reactive putty. I was bitter after seeing that tonight and filled the rest of the seams with liquid nails. It's still rough, but I think I can smooth everything out with some work - right now I'm just filling the larger gaps.
Some pics showing the ugliness I need to work on.
If I did it again I would use a single, more dense foam core, and simply wrap it in carbon - and eliminate the aluminum frame. Then I would rivet and bound pedestals to the exterior surface of the airfoil. This is what APR and others do.
I know production shops also use female molds. I don't know how they form the airfoil in a single step. It's easy if you make two pieces and bond them together. I've got some ideas on how you could do it in a single step, but I'd love it if someone knows for sure?

Was going to work on finishing the wing this weekend. But the weatherman has other plans for me. Mountains have got 4ft this week and the back country is opening...
