Insert the wings carefully, bit by bit into the wing 

shapers until they protrude about 2 cm. 

 

Optional Step: 

You can now insert the wings (with the shapers 
still on) into hot water to form the Depron to the 
shape of the curves. 

 

Briefly sand the inner parts which will be joined 
at about 10 degrees before gluing them so they 

fit together flush. 

 

Glue the wings with the shapers in place and 
allow the glue to dry before removing the 

shapers. 

 

The completed wing should have dihedral and 
curvature.
