Cut out the flap arm recess
You will need to cut out the marked flap arm recess in the top of the wing root: check that the
line is 27mm from the wing root and re-mark if required. Care is needed around the wing
attachment lug (circled): under no circumstances must any material be removed from the lug.
When using a jigsaw near the wing attachment lug you will need to make sure that the shoe of
the jigsaw is completely level when cutting near the wing attachment lug as shown above.
Use a hacksaw in a holder to remove the final section of the wing skin above the wing
attachment lug, finishing off carefully with a flat file as shown above.
Cut down the rear of the wing as
shown at right, angling out from where
the saw is in the photo to finish the cut
level with the bottom surface of the
wing, shown indicated the red line.
Sand all cut surfaces to a smooth
finish.
This completes the

task.
