2. Position the ply at the wing TE so
that its outboard edge is about ¼”
inboard from where the bottom skin’s TE
jogs aft. Then move the ply so that it
overhangs the wing’s wood TE by 1
1/8”. Make this measurement at the
root and tip. Tape the ply in place and
trace its outline on the foam. It should
rest slightly on the fixed, center TE
section of the wing.
3. Within the area marked, route and/or
sand the foam down 1/32” so that the
ply will sit flush with the wing. We find it
easier to use a dremel to route down the
ply ribs first, and then use a sanding
block to remove the foam. When
finished, apply epoxy to the recess and
position the ply in place and add weights
until cured.
4. Rough trim the top wing skin
maximizing the useable material. To
help position the skin on the wing, first
make the following marks: the aft-most
rivet line near the root and tip and the
crease line at the LE break. Position the
skin at the LE break, then its highlighted
rivets over the wood TE - use tape to
hold it down.
5. To create the TE cut lines, make
reference marks 1/8” aft of the ply
overhang’s TE.
Outboard of the ply overhang, mark ¼”
for the ply (cordwise – this edge will get
further trimmed later once the flap is
skinned). From the wing’s wood TE
(where the aileron will be), mark ¼” aft.
Connect these marks with cut lines and
trim.
