15. The wing is sheeted from the leading edge
to the middle of the spar. These sheets
should be made up now while your work
area is clear. Locate (4) 3/32” x 4” x 36”
Balsa sheets and cut them to 30”. With
sand paper or 36” steel rule and a hobby
knife, true on 30” long edge of each sheet.
Over waxed paper, lay 2 sheets, trued
edges together and adjust until there is no
gap between the sheets. When you have a
good match, pin them down. Wick thin CA
along the joint. Unpin when dry and join
the other 2 sheets the same way. Lightly
block sand both sides of the joined sheets
in order to smooth out the glue line.
16. Take the two 8” wide sheets from previous
step and trim each sheet to 5-3/4” wide.
Make a mark 1-3/4” down from the upper
left corner and 1-3/4” up from the bottom
right corner. With a 36” steel rule, carefully
join the two marks and cut along the line.
Set these sheets aside for use later.
17. Start with the right panel. Align and pin the
3/8” x 1/2” x 36” main spar over the plan.
18. Locate two R1 ribs and glue on R1A balsa
wing dowel block on the outboard side of
each R1 rib as shown on the plan. Make
sure you have a right and left.
