Step 4: Installing the Wing Reinforcement Board
❑
Using 220 grit sandpaper with a sanding block, carefully
sand the trailing edge of the wing straight so that the wing will
fit into the wing saddle.
☞
Check the fit often with the fuselage so you don't remove
too much material.
❑
Using a modeling knife and a ruler, cut a 1/4" x 1/2" hole
in the middle of the trailing edge reinforcement board.
☞
This hole will prevent the reinforcement board from
interfering with the aileron torque rods.
❑
Remove the protective backing from the trailing edge
reinforcement board.
❑
Carefully apply the reinforcement board to the
top
of the
wing, making sure the board is centered over the centerline of
the wing and the back edge of the board is even with the
trailing edge of the wing.
IMPORTANT
Before installing the trailing edge reinforcement board in the next procedure, make sure that both aileron torque rods are
completely down in the molded grooves.
❑
Flex the ailerons up and down several times to make sure the torque rods are not sticking to the reinforcement board.
❑
Carefully remove the protective backing from the wing reinforcement board.
