Built a set of really lightweight wings that bend alarmingly ? well here is a trick,with a ballpoint pen run a groove using your thumb to guide the pen the full length of the leading edge,now take a fine piece of carbon fibre and lay it into the groove,drip some cyno along the leading edge which bonds the carbon fibre insert.

Result a leading edge that will add a lot of built in strength,ideal for small models.
