Take a normal rag wing, remove the rag (or don't put it on in the first place), attach carbon fiber cloth over the ribs, then evenly apply epoxy to get into those fibers.
Would that be rigid? Likely to crack under loads? Or just too hard to get tight?
Since it would be thinner for its weight than plywood, I guess it would not have the same cantalever rigidity between ribs.
Just got the idea and wanted feedback on what has been done.
It would probably be strongest on a thin leading edge.
