Step 1: The Wing
Prepare the 2 wing panels and main spars.
The main spar consists out of 2 parts which
need to be sandwiched together with 30min
epoxy.
Carefully remove the covering around the
edge of the wing root to enlarge the glue
surface. Ensure that you do not cut into the
wood as this might weaken the root rib.
Next dry fit the main spar and slot the wing
halves together. Ensure that both halves
align fully at the wing root without a gap. If
required, sand the wing root to achieve the
desired fit.
In order to strengthen the glue joint, we
recommend that you roughen the wing root
surface. A needle can be used to create
numerous small pin holes in the wood.
