IMPORTANT:
DO NOT GLUE UNTIL INSTRUCTED TO DO SO!
These instructions have been adapted to include steps
to build either the Slow Stick X (straight wing) or the
X-Trainer (dihedral wing). Steps which pertain only
to the X-Trainer will be labeled as such.
The top of this wing is identified by the installation of
the main spar. The main spar is always installed
from the TOP. (Fig. 3)
1.
Remove all W parts as well as plywood parts P1, P7
and P9 from sheets. Sand away excess material
from break-away. If desired may also sand away
any laser burn.
2.
Trim Part W8 for dihedral or “no dihedral” as
marked on part. Assemble spar crutch (Part W8),
Ribs (W1 and W6). (Fig. 1 and 2) NOTE: Because
of different wood weights, it is recommended that
you divide the two rib sheets (W6) between the two
wing halves. This will help to balance the wing.

3.
Trim part P1 for dihedral or “no dihedral” as marked
on part. Join together the two wing halves with
main spar (P1). (Fig. 3) The main spar should be
installed on the trailing side of the spar crutch.
4.
Join together parts P7 and P9, as in Fig. 4, and
install between center ribs B1. (Fig. 5). For the X-
Trainer, use P5 parts to gauge the bend of P9. Use
P7-T for the X-Trainer option.
