Default sedge in need

Okay here is my sedge nothing new but thought it may be one for people to have a go at improving on and see what they come up with.
I am secretly hoping that Midlander comes and shows me how an improved wing would look

Ha, not tonight mate, but there's sod all wrong with that wing that turning it upside down wouldn't cure. Sedges have tented wings with down-swinging trailing edge your wing has an up-swinging trailing edge. Get that right and you're sorted.

I knew that was the case but it seems every time I do that it never looks right and the fibres on the top of the wing tend to seperate .
