When sandwiched together, the spar is 3/16" thick.
While it could have been glued to the body tube as is, I wanted a better root edge fit on the BT-20.
I wrapped 220 grit sandpaper around a BT-5 tube and sanded the body tube curve into the wide root edge.
TIP: Notice I didn't sand around a BT-20. You'll get a tighter contour fit by sanding over a smaller diameter tube. The BT-5 is the next smallest diameter.
Here's the curvature of the root edge back on the BT-20 upper tube.
