2) Referring to the wing decalage jig outlines on
the plan, cut four pieces of 4.8mm wide strip to
the lengths shown and set them aside (all four
pieces are the same length).
3) Pin down 2 off parts WD1 over the plan for
the ‘inner’ dihedral jig where shown. It is very
important that the parts are pinned down
accurately to the outlines on the plan, especially
in the area of the ‘notch’ on the upper edge.
4) Glue the strips on top of the parts WD1 as
shown – their exact placement is not critical, but
they should not in any way overlap the ‘notch’.
5) Once the glue is set, remove the jig from the
plan/board and mark it ‘inner’ to reduce the
chance of a mix up later in the build.
6) Repeat the steps for the ‘outer’ decalage jig
with the second pair of WD1 parts and 4.8mm
wide strip.
Set both jigs aside until they are required later on in
the build.
CABANE STRUTS
1) Identify and remove parts in the following
quantities from the laser cut sheets: 2 off each
C1-C5 .
2) Make up the two cabane strut assemblies as
shown on the plan. Be careful to follow the
instructions carefully to make up the correct left
and right hand parts. Work accurately as they
are critical to the alignment of the wings once
the model is assembled.
