- Actually Iskander, the reason for bagging wings is not to squeeze the resin
- and force fibres together. Wings are bageed to produce a perfect, constant
- (no dips between ribs, no balsa sheet joints) airfoil across the entire wing.
- It is an added benefit that the layers (carbon, kevlar, whatever) are forced
- together and any extra resin is squeezed (squoze?) into the breather felt.
