Guys,

have been hard at work on the drawing board. Doing some design work on a wing for a light aircraft with a relatively high aspect ratio wing.
I'm torn between building a wood wing or using foam and glass.
Both have their pros and cons.

one thing that bothers me about plywood wing skins is that the largest thing I've been able to find between 1mm and 1/16" is only in 4' and 8' lengths.
that means a scarf joint unless I can find someone that makes long sections of plywood.
I know it's common to splice wood, but I just do no like the idea of building a wing this way. The skins being one piece would seem better.

have looked at glass over foam core as well.
And I thought I had found the answer with the 45deg knitted glass cloth. After working with some samples of it though I've found this stuff to be useless unless I could get rid of the threads as the layup was done. All the knitting holds the glass off from the core material and on a wet layup you end up with far too much resin and strands are not laying as they should.
the only other thing I know to do is go with two layers of BID cut and layed up at opposing 45 deg.
which was exactly what I was trying to avoid by using the knitted fabric.

anyone been in this spot and come up with a good alternative.
i want the construction to be as fast and simple as possible.
