2.5 to 3mm should be fine. but make sure you select light plywood, because some are really heavy.

Now I got what you are looking for. You could use a wood called 'Reeper' by the local carpenters. It is a white coloured wood with grains running nearly straight along the lenth of the wood. It looks some what like pine. A second option is as once Ismail had told me, is to use the wood that is used by frame makers (Photo frames). This is the same wood. You will have to reenforce the center with pieces of the same wood lengh about 6 -7 inches. Place one piece of wood flat on the floor and place the second length of wood at the height that is in the plan. Again the 2nd piece is flat on the floor. mark the angle the 2nd piece is making with the 1st and then cut/ sand the first piece at the correct place. Keep the length of the pieces slightly longer than that is in the plan. U can cut the extra later.
Another option is to use 'Multiwall Polycarbonate sheet' for the spar. You can find it any place that stocks Coro. This sheet comes in a size of 4.6 and 6 mm. It is lighter than coro and when 2 pieces with flutes running perpendicular to each other are stuck together, are as strong as light wood.

Just glue it, we will find a way if it droops at one side. Have you finished the wing?

U can see the ele position in the following pic

This is a 2piece wing..The spar is made from 3mm coro,idea given by mr.Edwin(martian2121)..Spar is built by sticking a layer of coro flutes running cord-wise between 2layers of coro flutes running span-wise..I've to glue the center wing wrap n ailerons..Glues used:Fevibond,Feviquick..

Thanks sun&ash..No it's not detachable..I mean it made from 2 separate pieces of 625length coro,as per plan it should be built from a single piece of length 1250 mm..is it possible to build a detachable wing with dihedral?
