The Corsair82: 82% F4U-1A Corsair

Spar Pic 15
I turned the spar over to lay up the bottom cap. This cap consists of fourteen layers of unidirectional fiber glass tape. The top cap is eleven layers. This is a test piece. It is not built to support a 3500lb aircraft at 8g. It is 2500lbs at 2g. It will be tested to destruction after the wing molds are built. It is just a test to insure my methods and math are correct.
