I am looking for a nostalgia rule clarification on adding another spar to a wing (1/2A Spacer). The rules state that you can’t add a spar as a turbalator to the front 3rd of the air foil and than it states that you can add one additional spar to the front of the wing as long as it’s flush with the rib! Can someone clerify this for me?
Thks, Scott
I believe that you can only add one spar in front of the high point. After the high point no restrictions. Underside , no restrictions.
What they mean by “no turbulator spars” is that the one spar you are allowed to ad must not protrude above the rib.
Dean, thanks for the clerification. That’s what I thought, I just wanted to make sure before I made this addition.

The ‘dusters all had the option of 3 spars on the LE portion of the wing, a non-issue, its on the plans.
The reason I needed clerification is for next years one design competition. It’s the 1/2A Spacer and it’s an open wing structure. I am going to add one 1/16 x 1/8 stringer in order to add a little rigidy to it.

I use one front and back on the top and another on the bottom. I added one to the stab-directly over the bottom spar- also.
