Construction Manual
Step 6 - Center Section (F6)
Locate F6 from LP3 Glue it in position
making sure it is 90° from R1.
Step 7 - Center Section (F6)
Locate F8, F9 and R0 from LP3
Glue F8 in position making
sure it is 90° from R1. Once
the glue has cured, position R0
and F9 in position as shown,
making sure that R0 fits in
the center notch of F9. Once
they are aligned properly, glue
them in position.
Step 8 - Center Section (attach the other R1)
Locate the remaining
R1 assembly. Glue it
in place as shown,
making sure all of
the tabs from F5, F6,
F8 and F9 fit into the
slots on R1. Make
sure both sides are
straight and parallel.
Step 9 - Center Section (F7)
Locate F7 from LP3. This fits on the
underside of the center section and
the rounded side points towards
the firewall. Once satisfied with the
fit, glue in position.
Step 10 - Center Section (attach R1Ds)
Locate the two R1D
pieces from BP3.
These are glued to
the outside of the
R1s and will act as a
shelf when attaching
the forward sheeting
later on in the build.
Use the lightening
cutouts and the
extended tabs on F6
to properly align these pieces.
Step 11 - Center Section (affix to building surface.)
With the main work on the center section finished, it is time to
attach it in place over the plans. Carefully pin it in position making
sure it’s straight and true. When in position, locate the 2 TEJ pieces
from BP2. These
are jigs used to
properly space the
ribs. These pieces
are symmetrical so
no worries about
placing them in the
wrong direction.
Pin these in place
as shown on the plans, over the trailing edge. Use a long straight
edge to assure that both edges line up. The inner notch will fit
around the extended tab on the back of the R1 pieces.
Step 12 - Wing Assembly (R2s)
Locate both R2A pieces from LP1 and
both R2B pieces from the LP2. Align
the curvy cuts in R2A and R2B to create
a finished R2. Pay attention when
joining so you align the engraved
circles next to each other. Make two
finished R2 pieces.
All of the following steps to build the wing should be
performed to construct both the left and right wing at the
same time.
Step 13 - Wing Assembly (LEJ)
Locate both LEJ pieces from BP2. These are also jig pieces and
will be used to locate the forward tabs on each of the ribs. The
un-notched end will fit up against the center section and will angle
rearwards towards the outer rib. Do not pin in place yet.
Step 14 - Wing Assembly (R2s)
Locate both completed R2
ribs. Carefully place these
in position, one on each
side of the center section.
The rear tab will fit into the
REJ jig and the front tab
will fit into the LEJ jig.
Step 15 - Wing
Assembly (ribs R3-R5)
Locate both R3 ribs from
LP2 and both the R4
and R5 ribs from the BP1
sheets. Carefully place
these in position. The rear
tabs will fit into the REJ jig
and the front tab will fit
into the LEJ jig. Make sure
the tabs are pushed all the
way into the jigs, so they are resting on the plans.
When satisfied of the alignment, pin both LEG jigs into place on
to your building board.
