Re: Chris Williams Flamingo
Not my area of expertise, but I had a Mibo Swift of similar size that had a 10mm fibreglass round joiner. I guess a 10mm carbon tube with a suitable steel rod inside that would cover all possibilities. Can you not get the 12mm flat steel joiner where you are? (You can buy it from Gliders Distribution)

Re: Chris Williams Flamingo
hello chris tell me if I understood correctly
question 1: the 1/8/10/18 ribs are used to position the wing on the site, is it ok?
question 2: once the 2 half-wings are placed face to face, we position the wing key
