Glue in place the
Wings Main Spars Hardwood
Capping
and the
WingsTip Main Spars Hardwood
Capping.
There will be a groove that this capping strip sits
into on the trailing edge side of the main spar.
Just in front of the hardwood capping, glue the
Wings Main Spar Carbon Capping Strips
and the
WingsTip Main Spar Carbon Capping Strips
in place.
Be sure to trim these to length first.
Use a hobby knife to carve away the balsa of the
capping blocks on the tailplane and wing tips to match
the curvature of the ribs.
Cut them down using the rib’s shape as a guide and
then finish off by hand with sandpaper and round
them off.
Your completed wing tips and tailplane capping should
look like this.
Wings and Tailplane Surface Covering
The kit comes supplied with heat shrinkable covering
sheets. These sheets don’t have an adhesive coating
so you need to glue them to the airframe. It’s
essential that you use a “sticky” glue. Wood glue will
not do the job. We recommend using UHU Por (UHU
Expanded Polystyrene) or a glue stick. However the
UHU will give a much better bond.
