It is now time to begin building the wing. The wing is built in four separate panels, and the inner panels are different
lengths. Pay close attention to this assembly process. Match the dihedral breaks to the ribs so that the inner dihedral
ribs are angled less than the outer dihedral ribs. Also pay close attention to the fact that there are 6 dihedral ribs.
They can be identified by the extra slot they have at the main spar to accept the plywood joiners.
You may notice that the ribs have large wedges on them. These wedges support the leading and trailing edge to
achieve the correct conformity to the design undercamber. Do not glue the trailing edge to the wedge, as it will be
cut off using a razor blade after assembly. The same is true at the leading edge.
You may find it helpful to sand the leading and trailing edges to an airfoil before assembly. We used a razor plane to
aid in this process.
Shown below is the sequence for laying out the left inner wing panel.
