Step 125:
Tape the tip caps flush with the
edges as shown. Set aside to cure.
Step 124:
Glue the foam cap pieces inside
the tip cavities as shown with poly u glue.
Step 123:
From a scrap of 5/16” foam, cut
a wedge which fits inside rear tip cavity
Step 122:
Using a band saw sharp knife,
slice this section from the foam piece.
Step 121:
Pull the foam out 1/2” and trace
the outline again as shown
Step 127:
Once glue has cured, temporarily
remove the white plastic spacer piece.
Repeat for both
wing tips
We want to break it
free of the poly-u
glue that may have
expanded into the
groove
Watch your fingers!
Step 126:
Sand both foam tips to make the
surfaces flat and even using 40 grit.
Step 128:
Mark 3/4” from the root edge of
the left wing panel along the spar as shown
Step 129:
Slice between the wood and foam to
the 3/4” mark on both sides of the spar.
Step 130:
Insert the right spar where the
plastic spacer was and press halves together
A long thin hobby
knife works best
here
Be careful not to
cut into the wood
spar
The left spar protrusion
should fit into the
spar“pocket”
The spar “pocket”
protrusion should fit
into the slice from the
last step
