36. Glue the 3/32" balsa shear webs to the front of the main spars in the second through the eight rib bay as shown. These
shear webs have the grain oriented vertically. The parts provided in the kit are slightly long and should be trimmed to
achieve a tight fit against the wing ribs. The shear webs should be glued to the spars as well as the wing ribs.
Glue the 3/8" sq. balsa leading edge into position at the front of the wing ribs.
37.
Glue the hardwood tip float anchors (W-7) to the spars and the wing rib at the location shown on the plan.
NOTE: There are four pieces of 3/32" balsa sheet in the kit for sheeting the leading edges of the wing. The 3-1/8" wide
sheets are used on the top of the wing. The 3" sheets are used on the bottom of the wing only.
38.
Place the 3-1/8" wide 3/32" leading edge sheet into position as shown. The front edge should be completely against the 3/8"
sq. leading edge and the ends should extend past the W-3 rib at the inboard end and the W-4 rib at the outboard end.
When positioned properly, the sheet should be glued to the 3/8" sq. leading edge only.
39.
Roll the sheeting back and down onto the wing ribs. Glue the sheet to all of the wing ribs and to the top spruce spar.
Note: You can moisten the outside face of this sheet with an ammonia based cleaner such as Sig’s Pure Magic Airplane
Cleaner. Allow it to soak in for about 10 minutes before bending the sheet.
40.
Glue the 3/32" wing center section sheet
into position at the inboard end of the
wing between the leading and trailing
edge sheet. The outboard end should
end at the point shown on the plan with
the extra length extending past rib W-3.
The front piece can be used with it’s full
3" width. The second (rear) sheet needs
to be trimmed to the proper width to fit
between the first sheet and the trailing
edge sheet.
41.
Fit the tip float rib cap strip (W-8) into position at the location shown on the plan. Trim the rear end to fit against the trailing
edge sheet. When properly fit, glue W-8 into place.
42.
Remove the wing from the plan. From the bottom, and using the W-7’s as a drill guide, use a 5/32" drill bit to drill through
the tip float rib cap strip (W-8). After drilling the two holes, place the wing panel back onto the building board.
Cut the remaining top cap strips from the 3/32"x1/4" balsa strip and glue them into position onto each exposed rib.
