What is the general consensus on number of braced wing bays? Seems like I rememberreading that several of you put 3 or 4 braced bays per wing panel(3pc wing)and were glad that you did?--------PAPA MIKERead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________

I built it per the plans, with two braced bays in each wing. Unless youwant a much higher VNE, there's no reason to go with more.Jack PhillipsNX899JPSmith Mountain Lake, Virginia-----Original Message-----

I can think of no good reason to deviate from the plans and increase the number of braced bays in the wing.I don't know any builders who have done this.Greg CardinalMinneapolis----- Original Message -----
