STEP 23: Sand off the parts overhanging the wing
root, so they are flush with the center rib, on each
wing. Do NOT sand into the rib itself. Why did we
make you build the wing in halves, instead of 1
piece? We did it so you could more easily modify it
for a 2-piece wing if you desired to do so. (And
other reasons that are top secret at the moment…)
STEP 24: Sand the wing leading
edge to the profile shown. To
prevent the sandpaper from
digging into the ribs and breaking
them, put some blue painters tape
across the ribs to protect them.
Finish sand the rest of the wing
with 320 or 400 grit sandpaper.
STEP 25: Cut the included 1/8" dowel in half. Join the
wings, using a THIN layer of 5-minute epoxy. The dowels
are used for aligning the wings. MAKE SURE that the
wing panels are lined up before the glue dries. You can
use some small clamps to hold the center ribs together.
With one wing flat, the other wingtip should be 4-
