Not an EPP foamie (bagged composite), so I have to make the decision
before I cut the cores, but I'm sure it'll work out fine. I'll throw in
an extra 1/4 degree of twist (it requires 4 already).

Thanks again,
Adam

Twisting around the LE will add a bit of a pitching moment. Usually.

However, a flying wing USUALLY will have a near-zero pitching moment
airfoil so it's a non-issue.

Besides, if it's a foamie, just twisting it with you hand and applying a
heat gun, will usually twist around approximately the 1/4 chord point.
So it's no problem. Really I've done it dozens of times. Don't sweat it.
