Brief Description:  Foam Stifffiners

I continued working on my foam stiffiner design. After considering various methods I decided to go with a low profile approximately 3/8 inch thick by the pink foam 1 inch thick by 24 inches long. I had messed around with the wingtip and I feel that the tip doesn't need reinforcement along the whole length to my guess.....I may be proved wrong but the fact is I really won't know until I get the stiffiners made and bonded.

I figure even if they don't work as expected....there will still be some stiffining of the wing tip and that will be better than nothing at all. The good thing about the pink foam it that it cuts real easy on the bandsaw and sands great!! It is easy to form with the saw and sanding block.

So tonight I continued to make the stiffiners which will be bonded to the upper surface of the wingtip as that is the place I feel that needs the most support.
