the wing is made of 2 parts, the wing surface and the wing leading edge.

the surface I used
floor lamminate' 4.4" long .25" thick, 8.25" wide and it is 4.5lbs

the leading edge is PVC tubing
3" PVC cut in 2 and 5' long 2.1lbs

i started by screwing the lamminat to the wheel first.

when the screwing was done, i then placed the pvc as the leading edge, i notched the pvc to fit through the wheel rim.
at this point i have screwed the PVC in place using few screws only, for further testing. i did try diffrent layout but the best so far is the 2/3 leading edge on the inside and a 1/3 to the outside of the lamminate board.
