Another point to consider in differentiating between a wedge and a wing.
IMHO a wing is not symmetrical and has a matching counterpart (left & right) and
would be inherently thin. I cant imagine building a plane model with a wing as
thick as a brick (This plane flies like a brick!) Perhaps a wing as thick as a
brick would best be named as a "clipped brick"
A wedge is symmetrical with sloped sides without regard to whether its a plate
or a brick (slope bricks excluded).
I believe the first consideration should be getting similar parts to sort
together in the parts.lst file
