Can a model 1 wing replace a model 2 wing?

Given that the model 1 gross is 850 lbs. and the model 2 gross is 950 

lbs. what part if any within the wing structure must be changed to 

convert a model 1 wing to a model 2?

Hi Rex, good question, I also   wonder what if anything is different about 

them and how can you tell one model from another.  I've heard  that some of 

the wing spars were extruded aluminum with a stiffener as an intragal part 

of the spar.  I've seen wings that were from either a model 1 or 2  (not 

sure which one though) that had a Z shaped stiffener and then I've also seen 

model 3 wings that have a   I   shaped stiffener in them.  Of course the 

model 4 and later have a flat bottom so I guess we are only talking about 

the wings with a concave bottom.  One thing about the differences between 

the wings with the  Z shaped and the  I shaped stiffeners, the  Z  has a 

single row of poprivits  top and bottom and the  I  shaped stiffener wing 

has a double row of poprivits through the spar into the stiffener.  

Hopefully someone that has built wings with these different stiffners  

(mainly the   Z shaped ones) will post what model that style wing was in.  

Thanks,  Jim Chuk   Avid MK IV   Chsiholm Mn

No response yet. Perhaps this question can be answered by people with 

either a model 1 or model 2 construction experience. If someone with 

either could answer with the basic details of spar construction that 

would be helpful. I might be able to draw some conclusions from several 

individual replies.

Thanks,
