The second half wing is constructed
the same way as the first, except that
the dihedral brace, the rear part of
the root ribs, the top planking, and
the top trailing edge are all left to be
completed until after the two halves
are glued together.
Support the completed half wing at
the tip with a 120 mm high stack of
books, blocks, etc., and rest the root
on the building board. Offer up the
second half, and fettle the joint until
you have an exact fit. Glue the two
halves together. Be sure to clamp the
dihedral brace to the spars until the
glue has set.
Glue the rear root rib parts in place.
Glue the top trailing edge and the
1.5 mm top planking in place.
To avoid any damage caused by the
rubber bands that hold the wing
down it is best to add two rounded
pine strips at the trailing edge of the
wing. Try the wing to fuselage fit first,
and adjust the position of the pine
strips such that they are just in front
of the rear former of the fuselage, as
the V-form of the wing makes it sink
slightly into the fuselage aperture.
