Default Re: What software are you guy's using?

The Addiction has carbon in the TE of the wing, I believe, and tape hinges. The tape hinges come off after a while and it's kind of annoying.

How thick are the ailerons? How fast is the airplane going to go? Before you invest your time in using carbon to increase the torsional rigidity, ask yourself if it's worth it. It will probably be fine without it.

Good call on realizing that the triangulation does not increase torsional rigidity, also. Most people don't realize that.
