V1 Buzz Bomb Construction Manual
Sand the inboard trailing edges so that
the last 1/2” of them tapers from 1 mm
to a sharp edge.
Using a straight edge and a single-
edged razor, ensure that one edge of
the 1 mm x 6” balsa upper sheeting is
completely straight.
Run medium CYA along the straight
edge of this sheeting, and glue it to the
back of the leading edge, so that it is
touching all of the ribs. Use a straight
pin over each rib to ensure positioning.
Fill any gaps with a gap filling glue that
can be sanded, such as PICA Gluit.
Do not glue the sheeting to the ribs yet.
When glue is dry, carefully roll sheeting
down on ribs, until aileron torque rods
poke up through sheeting. Lift it back
up, and cut 1/4 wide by 1/2 long slots
around the holes made by the torque
rods.
Completed slots for aileron torque rods.
