Stringers and Sanding
Add the top stringers before giving the fuselage a good
overall sanding.
TAIL SURFACES
Lay out and glue parts of the tail surfaces on the plans.
Sand the tail parts, rounding off all edges. Don’t add the
horns or hinge the surfaces until after covering is
complete.
WINGS
Wing Construction
Pin down, over the plan, the t/e, l/e, spar and wing tip,
gluing as required. Making sure that you are using the
correct ribs for the wing you are building, glue all but the
center ribs in place. With one panel on the building
board, raise the other wing panel to allow for dihedral.
Mount the dihedral brace in place and glue. Sand the
leading edge stock to be rounded and meet the ribs.
Completed top wing half.
