Erm in short the inner wings were rotten so i cut it out and it never got put back as we only have a short time to do the build and it will be out of sightlmao the fold over flappy bit/s are holding the slam panel on as there was nothing else to weld to so i just made something up that works as you do. most of that will be out of sight to

Novacane
