Construction
Wing Skins
Each wing bottom skin consists of two laser-cut pieces:
forward, center and aft. Gently clean up the mating
edges of the pieces with 220 grit paper on a sanding
block.
Lay the pieces of a wing skin on a flat board or table,
with the outer surface up. Run a length of masking tape
along the join lines. Turn the assembled skin over,
bend the joints open, and run a bead of aliphatic resin
or wood glue down the joints.
Lay the assembled skin back down on the board –
masking tape side down. Run a damp paper towel over
the joints to remove excess glue. Place a sheet of wax
paper over the assembled skin. Then weight it down
