20.
Trim off excess spar material extending beyond
the #15 ribs (wing tip ribs)
21.
Glue trip strip to the #15 ribs, as shown.
Carve and sand balsa tri-strips, so that they
match the top contour of the wing tip ribs.
22.
Still working over the plan, pin down the left
inboard panel.
Slide the right inboard panel up tight next to the
left inboard panel, engaging the joiners with the
spars, as shown above.
23.
Raise up the right inboard panel, supporting it
with the dihedral gauges at the outermost rib
#5 position.
IMPORTANT!
The ends stamped “B” must be up.
Examine the center joint for good fit and align-
ment of the L.E., the spars, the joiners, and the
T.E. Adjust as necessary, sanding slightly to
make the pieces fit together.
Temporarily install the clamps to hold the join-
ers tight on the spars.
When satisfied with the fit, pin the wings togeth-
er.
24.
Remove the clamps and insert pins between
the spars and the joiners.
Apply Super Jet™ between the parts and then
remove the pins, allowing the pieces to come
back together. Immediately replace the clamps
to hold the joiners tight on the spars. Let dry
thoroughly.
