Hi Sid
I hear you but I have not done my final calcs yet, I might not make the
tanks the full span between the spars but I would like to keep them full
span for the stiffness it will give the wing being bonded to both the top
and bottom skins.

Dene; Make sure that the airloads don't travel through the full-span box
structure of the tanks, rather than through the box structure of the spars.
Probably would delaminate from the skins over time. Thermal loads also concern
me. Wood, aluminum, and fibreglass expand differentially with heati
Hi Wayne
I appreciate your good advice and wisdom, however, I have experience with
polystyrene foam in a KR wing being dissolved in flight and it is not good
for the heart!
I personally know a cozy builder that has had his tank spring a leak and had
to replace a lot of foam in the wing, a very deli
I built in wing tanks per the Diehl plans between the forward and aft spars,
and from the WAF out to the first wing rib. Turned out to be 10.8 gallons
per side. That 21.6 gallons would provide over 6 hours endurance plus
reserve. Way longer than I care to sit in my tiny cockpit for one flight
Awesome! Cheater! You have access to a CNC hot wire cutter! LOL. Very cool,
I did mine the old fashioned way, it was OK but yours are far superior. The
coremat is an excellent choice. I think you may be on the right track.

Just remembered this one, did it years ago on a special project. Use any
core you wish for front and back half of wing, and last a foam in the center
area. Cover the spars with a releasable covering, (please don't laugh, but
duct tape works really well for this!), lay up the whole wing as per nor

I am in South Africa which puts Diel skins out of my reach and as far as I
know, Diel skins are only available in RAF48 airfoil shape. My wings are a
combo from AS5048 at the root to AS5045 at the tip.
Honestly compared to the conventional method of sanding the foam to shape, I
think this is
I think you will be compromising the torsional rigidity of the wings with
three pieces and relying on a bonded joint, ( I could be wrong here). There
are lots of fuel resistant core materials available with which to do this.
Would it not be faster, cheaper and easier, (consideration given to your

Hi guys
It is my plan to put full length wing tanks inside my wings between the
spars but because it is common practice here to use polystyrene for a core
and we all know what happens to poly foam when it even smells fuel, I have
been trying to come up with a way to get rid of foam all together wit
Hi,
Sounds like a lot of work to get to the same end result as Diehl skins?
