STOP: If you wish to add the spoiler option it.js best to do it before proceeding to the next step. (See "Optional Spoilers" at
the end of this section).
44.
Position the two wing halves over the
plan. Pin the right half down so that its
inboard panel is flat on the plan. Block
up the left wing half 2-3/4" at the
inboard-outboard joint. If the joint
between the right and left wings do not
match perfectly, sand one or both of the
ribs until it does.
45.
Glue the panels together with epoxy glue. Have a "wet" joint to insure that the glue will fill any gaps in the seam. Also epoxy
glue dihedral brace WR in place as shown. Be sure to glue it securely to the top and bottom spars. Take up the wing panels
and trim off any excess glue as done when gluing panels together.
46.
Cut pieces of 1/16"x3"x36" balsa and finish sheeting the center section of the wing.
47.
Rubber bands can cut into the balsa wood. To protect the area, use pieces of scrap 1/32" plywood and glue into place on
the wing trailing edge as shown.
48.
Completely sand the entire wing with fine sandpaper. The wing is now ready for covering.
Optional Spoilers
1.
a. Cut to length a piece of 1/4" x 1" trailing edge stock for the spoiler.
b. Cut through the cap strips and ribs (as shown on the plans and side view drawings) to allow the spoiler to fit flush in
the wing. Make these cut outs only in the two center ribs of the spoiler bay.
2.
Trim away the cap strip material from the two center ribs of the spoiler bay to allow for the 1/16" x 1/2" balsa sheeting.
3.
Cut pieces of 1/8" sq. balsa to fit between the ribs and glue in place as indicated on the plans and side view drawings. These
will act as a shelf for the 1/16" x 1/2" balsa sheeting.
