X-RES

17 Of 37

Aligning end rib A9 with 5 ° angle jig.

Roughen and thoroughly clean aluminum wing joiner tubes.  Slide aluminum tube into ribs A-9 and A-
8.  Align at 90° to end rib. Gap between tube and spar webbing should be filled in with scrap 1.5mm
plywood.  Coat ply filler, Al tube, and spar webs with epoxy and assemble.  Picture shows top spar in
place, but do this step before top spar is glued in so the ply filler can be inserted.
