2. Using the “bevel to” lines and the centerline as a guide,
make the “V” on the leading edge of the elevators with a
razor plane or your bar sander with 150-grit sandpaper.
❏
3. Use the same procedure to bevel the leading edge of
the rudder.
❏
4. Temporarily attach the elevators to the stab and the
rudder to the fin. Use your bar sander to round the perimeter
of the elevator, stab, rudder and fin (do not round the bottom
edge of the fin where it will be glued to the stab and fuse).
Start by building the right wing panel right side up over the
right wing panel plan so your progress matches the photos.
❏
1. Match the six 1/8" x 1/4" x 30" basswood main spars
so any warps will counteract each other.
❏
2. Cut two of the main spars in half. Draw a line 1" from
one end of each of the 15" half spars and bevel the end of
the spars to the line.
❏
3. Use epoxy to glue the four 15" main spars onto the four
30" main spars, as shown on the plans. Make sure the sides
and ends of the spars are flush with each other. Wipe off any
excess epoxy before it cures.
❏ ❏
4. Cover the wing panel plan with waxed paper or Great
Planes Plan Protector.
❏ ❏
5.Position one of the main spars over the plan, aligning
the double spar end of the main spar with the outboard edge
of the root rib W-1. Mark the spar at the tip side of ribs W-4.
