Just a technical question, something a friend of mine and I were trying really hard to figure out and I figured it'd be best to just ask directly. In the construction of aircraft such as the Glasair, Icon, etc - there is one half of the wing, which has a lattice work attached to it, and then the top half of the wing, which is joined to that lattice work. From our observations, we assumed that the two are simply epoxied together;
That's the bottom half, which then gets the foam ribs epoxied into it, and then the top is epoxied to the foam and spar. Bondo or epoxy is used to fill in the part lines.
Are we correct in these assumptions?
Also, on a composite aircraft; what's the best way to create hinge joints?
