Hello Mark, thanks for the input ,
I have posted some pictures of the wing. its kind of hard to see how bad the distortion is from the pictures but I tried. here's the link http://bobskr.white.prohosting.com/ the wing already has a thin skin of fiberglass over it so if I do as you suggest I will have to sand down to the spar, then glue in a new piece of wood over the spar cap then re-glass the wing skin. ?. Then will it hurt to make the new Spar cap a little wider so the old skn will lay over it when re-glasing ?.

If you are saying that the spar is not tall enough, you need to use T-88 or some other suitable epoxy to glue some more wood on top of the spars, rather than use foam to make up the difference to get to the airfoil profile. The skin's connection to the rest of the plane is done through the spar cap, and foam cannot support the load (it is structurally "useless"). --------------------------------- Ahhh...imagining that irresistible "new car" smell?
