Step 1: Joining the Wing Panels
❑
Using a modeling knife, cut away and remove the excess
covering material that overlaps onto the root ribs of each wing
panel, leaving about 1/16" overlapped so it does not pull away.
❑
Test-fit the two wing panels together. They should fit
together with few or no gaps between the two, and the leading
and trailing edges should line up evenly.
☞
If the wing panels don't fit together properly, carefully
sand the root ends of each wing panel straight using 220 grit
sandpaper with a sanding block, being careful not to change
the dihedral angle.
IMPORTANT
The root rib in each wing panel is angled to achieve the correct amount of dihedral when the wing
panels are joined together. Do not alter the angle of the root ribs.
IMPORTANT
It's very important to the integrity of the wing center section joint that you remove as much covering
material from the root ribs as possible.
