31. Glue the two die-cut 1/8" ply wing strut plates to the
W-4 ribs, main spar and aileron TE sheet in position. The
wing strut plates must be flush with the bottom of the wing.
❏
32. Go back and repeat steps 28 through 30 on the other
wing half.
❏ ❏
1. Position the die-cut 1/8" balsa aileron base over the
plan. Mark the aileron rib locations on both sides of the
aileron base.
❏ ❏
2. Cut the 3/8" x 1" x 24" balsa aileron LE in half. Draw
a centerline lengthwise on the 1" x 12" side.
❏ ❏
3. Glue the aileron base on the aileron LE along the
centerline and perpendicular to the face of the LE.
❏ ❏
4. From the 3/32" x 3/8" x 30" balsa sticks, cut and glue
aileron ribs to both sides of the aileron base, perpendicular
to the base.
❏ ❏
5. Trim the ends of the aileron LE flush with the
aileron base.
❏ ❏
6. From a leftover piece of 1/16" sheeting, cut and glue
a root rib to the root of the aileron.
❏ ❏
7. Place a piece of leftover 1/16" balsa between the root
rib of the aileron and the outside W-3 rib. Use a straightedge
to align the TE of the wing with the TE of the aileron. Then,
securely pin the aileron to the wing.
