Replace both of the rib #3 (half rib) and glue the tail into place as best as possible. All ribs should
be glued to the bottom trailing edge while the center of the ribs remains unglued and loose in
the main spar.

This is the best time to insert the trailing edge spacers should be placed and glued flush as
shown. Each trailing edge spacer will have to be cut to size and sanded as required. Trailing edge
spacers provided are sent in a generic size to allow for size differences. There are 12 spacers
provided but only 11 should be required, the trailing spacers are imperative to being able to
ensure you have material to adhere your hinges to.

Locate your remaining trailing edge piece. Recheck the fitment for the top trailing edge piece
within the ribs as the zig zag should match the already glued trailing edge piece. Pieces may
require sanding for best fitment. Set the trailing edge aside and place glue (medium CA is
recommended without the use of an accelerator) on the top of each tail piece of the ribs and
the trailing edge spacers. Then insert the top trailing edge piece working from the center
outwards to adhere to the ribs and trailing spacers. You may require weights or additional pins
to hold the top trailing edge in place while the glue sets.
