9) Repeat for the right hand wing panel. Leave
both panels to set before removing them from
the building board.
10) Round off the leading edge of the wings and
taper the trailing edges as shown on the plan.
Carefully give the entire structures a light
sanding to smooth the joints, remove lumps and
bumps and the burnt edges of the laser parts.
COMPLETING THE TOP WINGS
1) Pin the wing centre section back over the profile
on the plan. Ensure it is nice and flat and that it
is accurately positioned.
2) Take the left hand top wing panel and apply
glue to the end face of the end rib and the
mating face of the top spar extension, then glue
to the face of R5 on the centre section. Ensure
it is correctly aligned to both the centre section
and the profile on the plan and is completely
flat to the building board. The two pieces can
be clamped together using a sprung clothes peg
or gentle modellers clamp. Make sure that the
wood is not crushed as it is clamped.
3) Repeat step 2 for the right wing panel. Leave
entire assembly to set before removing it from
the building board.
4) Round off the leading edge of the wing assembly
and taper the trailing edge as shown on the plan.
Carefully give the entire structure a light sanding
to smooth the joints, remove lumps and bumps
and the burnt edges of the laser parts.
