3. Using a square to properly align the
sheeting with the trailing edge of the wing as
shown on the plans, position the sheeting and glue
it in place. DO NOT align with the trailing edge of
the ribs. (See the cross section of the plans.)

4. Edge glue the 3/32" x 3" x 42" balsa
sheet to the 3/32" x 2" x 42" balsa sheet (leftover
from the trailing edge sheet), making the leading
edge sheeting. Align the trailing edge with the
center of the spar and glue the sheeting in place.
Note:
Be sure to hold the ribs down on the jig and
hold the spar against your flat work surface to
create the correct washout in your wing.

5. Use a piece of 3/32" x 3" x 30" balsa
to sheet the center section of the wing.

6. If this is your second or fourth time through
this section, complete the following steps:
❏
❏
6a) Cut the 1/4" x 3/8" x 8" basswood stick in
half, making two 4" long aileron servo rails.
Glue one servo rail in the forward square
holes in the W5 ribs.
❏
❏
6b) Slip the rear 4" servo rail in place. Fit your
servo on the rails, sliding the aft rail forward
until the spacing between the rails is correct
for the servo. Glue the aft rail in place.
❏
❏
6c) Using leftover center sheeting, sheet over
the servo bay. Cut an opening for the servo.

7. If this is your first or third time through this
section, glue the die-cut 3/32" balsa rib doubler to
the inboard edge of the tip rib.

8. Using 3/32" x 1/4" x 24" balsa stick, cut
and glue cap strips to all of the exposed ribs,
including the trailing edge of the tip rib and its
doubler.
