Now first move the wing up and
down and finally shape the
contact edges of the center wing
with a narrow sanding block or
permagrit file so that the
movement is smooth without
any binding or locking.
Take the short piece of
aluminum tube, taper the edges
slightly and slide it into the outer
wing rear tube sleeve. Glue the
reinforcement ribs into the
center and outer wing. Glue a
little piece of the sleeve tube into
the center wing and glue an
approx. 20 mm piece of tube
into the outer wing sleeve, so
that when the wings fold down,
it slides approx. 6 mm (1/4")
into the center wing sleeve. We
have included some sleeve and
some tube for you in the
hardware bag.
Congratulations: You have
managed to install the wing fold
mechanics into your Corsair
wing. This was the most
complicated task. The remaining
building steps should go very
straight forward.
The shape of this additional wood rib looks a little
different to what is included in your kit. But the
function is the same.
