Wing
(continued)
44.
Fit and “tack glue” the wing tip sheeting, part W22 (sheet 01/08, 1/16 in. balsa) to the
rear
of
ribs W5 and W18.
Wrap the wing tip over rib W19. Engage the tabs along the
top
of the
rib. Bond the leading edge of W22 flush with the
top
of W21. Hold the outer wing panel
down
on a flat surface and “final bond” all mating surfaces.
Pro Builder Tip:
When wrapping part W22 over wing ribs W18 and W19, lightly wet the top
of W22 with window cleaner and allow it to soak in for a minute or two. W22 should now
easily form over the wing airfoil.
45.
Remove the stand-off tabs on the bottom of the spar W16, and ribs W18 and W19. Sand
the areas where the tabs were attached.
46.
Repeat steps 38 through 45 to build the
left
outer wing panel.
47.
Lightly sand the completed wing, removing any excess glue. Round the leading edge to
match the contours of the ribs and the profile shown in the
Rib Profile Detail
drawing on the
plan set. Sand the wing to prepare it for covering. At the wing tips, sand the leading edge
to flow smoothly into the wing tip sheeting, part W22. Sand the bottom of the wing trailing
edge to flow smoothly into the wing tip sheeting W22.
Set the completed wing assembly aside until required in final assembly.
Vertical Stabilizer and Rudder
Vertical stabilizer parts are designated with the letter “V” followed by a number. Parts have been
numbered so that the vertical stabilizer assembly follows a sequential order, V1 to V5. Rudder parts are
designated with the letter “R” followed by a number. Parts have been numbered so that rudder assembly
follows a sequential order, R1 through R3.
48.
Build the vertical stabilizer over the drawing on the plan set. Use parts V1, V2, V3, V4, and
V5 (sheet 06/08, 3/32 in. balsa). Bond with CA. Next, build the rudder over the drawing on
the plan set, using parts R1, R2, and R3 (sheet 06/08, 3/32 in. balsa) and bond with CA.
Sand the vertical stabilizer and rudder, to prepare them for covering. Round the leading
edge of the vertical stabilizer, and leave the trailing edge square.
