Loose fit all ribs into there appropriate notches
in LEP, then use thin CA to glue them in and
use the Building Square to insure that each rib
is at 90° to the bench. Assure that all ribs are
bottomed in there respective notches before
applying glue. Glue them at LEP, the bottom
spar and TEP. Ribs W2 and W3 will also be
glued to BSA. NOTE: Ribs W2 through W6
must be in their correct locations or you will
not be able to insert the wing bar later. They
look very similar however the butterfly open
-
ing is cut to accommodate the dihedral angle
and will not line up if out of sequence.
Trim the bottom spar flush with the outside
of W15.
Plane or sand a slight bevel on the bottom of the wing tip (WT)
to increase glue land. Use the 45° gusset (WTG) to get the correct
angle on it and glue it at the leading and trailing edge as well as
the gusset. Align the gusset on center with the spar. Glue in a 1”
piece of 1” triangle stock at the leading edge and a 1” piece of
¾” triangle stock at the trailing edge. Cut and glue pieces of 3/8”
triangle stoct to W14 and WT between the leading edge and the
gusset and between the gusset and the trailing edge. Use a razor
plane to plane the leading edge and trailing edge triangle stock
filler pieces to contour with W15 and WT. Use a straight edge
across the top of W14 and W15 to help align the top of WT.
Place the top spar in position in the notches
provided and mark the location of the W1
assembly. Trim the spar off at this line then
place the spar in position and use aliphatic
resin to glue in the top spar. Weight it to as-
sure it remains bottomed in the rib notches
until cured.
RIGHT: the wing tip (WT) has been in-
stalled with WTG and the triangle stock
for and aft, all that remains is to place the
1/4” triangle stock at the bottom.
Glue on the ½” x ½” x 48” trailing edge, make
sure it is also glued to each rib.

Top spar and trailing edge installed, next will be the trailing edge
top sheeting being prepared at the left.
Rib installation is underway, make sure each rib is in the correct
location and use the building square to insure all ribs are perpen-
dicular to the bench.
