I started to plank wings with 0,6mm plywood.As the wings are covered and painted, I have chosen to build a false balsa leading edge and to place plywood panels instead of wrapping the whole front part of wings as I usually do on plywood varnished models. This method will be faster. A hard wood leading edge will be installed after planking. Where panels join, I placed extra ribs to increase glueing surface . The panels are not simply placed side by side , their edges are sanded to allow them to be slightly superposed on about 3mm, see pictures.It 's important for wings strength and reaction in the air. There will be 20 panels for a wing. ,top and bottom. At the curvature, the panels are narrow to keep the smooth curvature and the right shape of the wing.
