6. Instructions
General notes:
The glued joints must be allowed to dry thoroughly otherwise they may warp or gradually come apart.
Whilst some of the parts are drying other work can be undertaken.
Balsa wood and foam sheet can be glued together with white glue. Other glues must be tried on the
Styropor / Depron first as any containing a solvent will attack the foam. Glue the glasspaper to the
block, use PVA, leave to dry. Tick off the steps as you go along then you will not miss anything.
The shortened form ʻSkʼstands for sketch or diagram A number for example (part 4) denotes the piece/part
Use mapping pins instead of normal sewing pins, as these bend too easily.

Extʼmeans,the parts are contained in the extra pack.

6.1 Wings:
In order that the finished outcome is successful the building steps are shown in detail
6.1.1 Remove the plans for the wings (see pages 17/19/21/23) and sellotape them together.
6.1.2 Sellotape the plans for the right hand wing to the building board
6.1.3 Cover over the drawings of the leading edge and trailing edge strips on the plan with a length of sellotape.
This stops balsa strips from being stuck to the plans whilst gluing (sk1, shaded areas)
6.1.4 Cut the leading and trailing edge strips (19 +20) to 410mm long (Roll the strips under a modelling knife)
6.1.5 Fix one foam wing (depron 18) over the plan with mapping pins.
Insert the pins at an angle!
6.1.6 Fix the leading edge on the building board with crossed over pins. Apply a bead of glue along the strip (sk2)
The glue should down over the edge.
