8.
Next, key part TE1 into grove in R2 and nest tabs into R1. Proceed to nest ribs R3-R6 into TE1. Now flip the
wing over on a flat surface (to rest on the riser jigs built into the ribs) and tack glue TE1 at R1 and R6 leaving
the rest of the ribs un-glued.

Install the servo pockets, with the wing assembly still very flexible, now is a great time to assemble the servo
pockets and install in the wing. For now lets rely on the friction fit of the servo pocket to the wing spar / rib and
not glue these assemblies together until the spar cap strips are glued in-place. The servo pockets can be tricky
to work into position and it is easy to make two rights or lefts… For this reason inspect the fit of the parts to
each other and test fit the parts individually to the wing.
Assemble the servo pockets as illustrated below. For this step you will need parts W6, W7, and the 1/16” ply
parts W8. Once the servo pockets have been dry fit together, test the fit to the wing spar and rib R3. Work the
assembly into position carefully as the rib and spar are in a delicate state.
10. Locate parts W4 (balsa) and W5 (ply). Using the provided 1/8” hardwood dowels as a centering tool and insert
through the 1/8” holes in the wing center section trailing edge components. Tack glue parts W4 and W5 (well
away from the 1/8” dowels). Remove the centering dowels and wick thin CA between surfaces to laminate the
trailing edge components together.
