TOP WING CONSTRUCTION

 

NOTE:The top wing is built in one piece - be sure your building board 
is flat. CROOKED WINGS NEVER FLY RIGHT. 
 
CAUTION: 
There are a lot of pieces to be glued before the wing is removed from 
the building board, so place the pins carefully. After all the pieces are 
glued in place you must be able to get at the pins to remove them.

Builders Tip: For convenience you may want to cut 
the plan into four pieces;
1.

top wing,

2.

left bottom wing,

3.

right bottom wing, and

4.

miscellaneous details.

 
17.

   

Pin the wing plan to the building board and cover the top wing section with waxed paper.

 
18

 
a.

 
Pin down two 1/4"x1/2"x24" balsa sticks for the bottom spar. Any extra length should extend beyond the tip rib. Be sure and 
leave the gap in the middle. This is not a mistake.

 

 
b.

 
Pin and glue in place all the W-2 and W-1T (center four) ribs on the plan. Use a triangle or a square block as a guide to 
keep the ribs square and vertical. Use the I-strut top mounts (P-2) as a spacer when gluing in the ribs on either side of P-2. 
Do not glue in either P-2 at this time. Make sure the jigging tab on each rib is down against the building board.

 

 
c.

 
Center the 5/16"x5/16"x48" shaped leading edge on the ribs and glue to all of the ribs.

 

 
d.

 
True up one edge on each of two 1/16"x1-1/2"x48" balsa sheets and cut them down to 1" wide by trimming the second 
edge. Glue one piece to the bottom trailing edge of each rib. Use the glue sparingly so that you don’t glue the partially cut 
jigging tabs to each rib. Now glue the other piece to the top trailing edge of each rib.
 

 

 

 
19

 
a.

 
Finish cutting the die-cut slots in the W-1T ribs. Find the 1/8"x5/8"x11-11/16" plywood top wing brace (TWB) , check the fit 
in the ribs and glue it in place on the bottom spar and to the ribs both front and rear.

 

 
b.

 
Pin and glue the 1/4"x1/2"x48" balsa stick in the ribs as the top spar.

 

 
c.

 
Glue all the pre-cut 1/16" balsa spar webbing in place as shown on the plans. Make sure that the web is glued to all the 
adjoining pieces. Here’s another place that you don’t want to be stingy with the glue.
 

 

 

 
20

 
a.

 
True up one edge of a 1/16"x3"x48" balsa sheet. Pin the trimmed edge of the sheet to the shaped leading edge. Now glue 
this sheet to the shaped leading edge, wing ribs and top spar.

 

 
b.

 
Using pieces of 1/16"x1/4" or 1/16"x1/2" balsa strip, cut and glue capstrips on the top of each wing rib as shown on the 
plan. Check the plan for the proper location of the two 1/16"x1/2" balsa capstrips.
