shown on the plan and in the drawing, and glue all the joints, referring to sections A-
A and C-C. When the glue is dry, sand the tailplane framework, round off the tip
blocks (42) and shape the elevator (43) as shown on the plan using a sanding block.
When the tailplane has been covered, the elevator can be attached using a full-
length tape hinge, as shown in the sketch.
Wings
The first stage here is to assemble the right-hand inboard wing panel: cover the ap-
propriate area of the plan with clear plastic film as already described, then pin down
the leading edge (44), spar (50) and trailing edge (45). Fit the 0.8 mm packing strip
under the trailing edge as shown in section H-H. Glue the wing ribs (46) to (49) in
place. Note that the ribs (46) have to be set at an angle using the template (98).
Allow the glue to set hard, then remove the wing panel from the building board and
glue the bottom spar (50) to the structure.
Roughen (sand) the outside of the brass tube (51) and glue it in place using cyano.
Fit the in-fill pieces (52) using plenty of glue, followed by the reinforcements (53) and
the spar webs (54).
The outboard wing panel is constructed on the same principle.
Before building the left wing panel rub a little thin plant oil into the plan to render it
translucent; see the note on the plan. The left-hand wing panels can then be assem-
bled on the back of the plan using the familiar procedure.
