Yes, in part. You'd have to increase the sweep of the center section spar, but that's not all. The stock wing has the shear web forward of the spar cap, while the CSS has the shear web aft of the spar cap. You'd have to relocate the wing's shear web to be aft of the spar cap, in order for the shear web to be continuous between the CSS and the wing. I'm no airplane designer (but I'm learning!), but moving the shear web aft sends up red flags--I don't know the proper terminology, but I'd be worried that moving the "center of stiffness" aft in relation to the chordwise lift distribution could lead to structural instability. Think Tacoma Narrows Bridge. It seems to me that you'd be better served by leaving the CSS's sweep alone, and moving the wing's spar caps to be forward of the shear web.

Here's the Barnstormers ad for that quickie: QUICKIE 1 AIRPLANE FOR SALE - • $4,995 • FOR SALE BY OWNER • I have a Q1 project that has been sitting in my storage warehouse for years.

I couldn't get the idea out of my head, so I dug into the plans and made a first pass at determining how much weight could be saved. It's...not much. Between the LWA's, extra spar caps, extra shear web, reinforcing layers of glass for the LWAs, hardware, etc, it looks like you'd save a whopping 10 lbs. And in the process, you'd have to do some design rework--the spar caps on the wings are aft of the spar caps on the center section spar, so you'd have to rework the wing design to move the spar caps forward of the shear web, and that sounds like an awful lot of design and fabrication work to save 10 lbs. And further into the weeds, the wing's top spar cap is 7 layers of UNI tape, compared to 5 on the bottom. Is that connected with the g limits of +3.8/-1g listed in the POH?

I'm pretty sure you can sign up for a free account at HBA, although there are paid options to help support the forum. Below is a quote from the linked post. The short version: for the size airplanes we're talking about, the wing weight is a few (~3%) lighter using a massive foam core and moldless construction, vs a molded wing with the same dimensions. So if you're thinking of doing it for weight savings, hollow wings won't do it, and as Marc says above, vacuum bagging the other parts will save some weight, but not a ton. If you're looking to make more than one copy of a part, and want to reduce the amount of time for filling/sanding/paint prep, then the molded approach may be more attractive. As an aside, I've also wondered what would happen if you got really ambitious and built giant molds for fabricating a monolithic wings-and-spar combination. You'd lose trailerability, but also a bunch of overlapping spar length, the wing attach bolts, etc.

You're right, "plans" isn't the right word. Perhaps "designs" would be more apt?

I want a Catbird, too. Anyone here have an "in" at Scaled? I heard a story a while back that new hires get to paw through all of their old records, and that includes plans for all of Burt's unpublished designs.
