I'm happy to see the progress you're making. For what was wanted to buy these things the amount of re- engineering and fixes you have to do is abysmal. Sadly, watching the threads of when it was...

the bandit would say differently. The super bandit was a 1/2" or so square piece and a 1/8" thick by the wing root thickness. I've seen a lot of bandits pounded into the ground hard and never seen...

2 piece in the center would be a waste. What about 3/16" carbon fiber plate? Weight isnt bad and stronger than the aluminum. You couldn't bend it if you bought it in sheet form but if you can make a...

Gary,
I can't do the math and formulas due to a lack of understanding but here is what I know.

the original spar design is suspect. Having said that there has been at least one of these jets...

F16 has a much shorter span wing, way more of a lifting fuselage, and no shock loads transmitted through the gear into the wing into the joiners. What is adequate for an F16 wing is not going to be...

with anhedral in the wings this would likely be the most viable solution then unless you can install a permanent spar on through the fuse but if access through the wing is tough this might be...

I was thinking similarly Buck but not so much with a bridge added in. That spar is removable. I would personally make new spars that go better than half way through the fuse and fit into a sleeve to...

The thickness of that aluminum spar isnt so much what my concern would be, it's more that so little of it slides into the fuse. The BVM super bandit blade spar was about 3" long and that was a...
