Adding the Fuselage Attachment Pieces
For each wing, you will need:
•
2 plywood fuselage attachment pieces (Figure K)
These pieces are also used to reinforce the wings to the
wings, but for the sake of not having to re-type a REALLY long name over and over,
we're just going to call them fuselage attachment pieces for now.
!
Putting the pieces together
1.
On one of the ribs, you will slide the fuselage attachment pieces behind the vertical
spar into the provided slots in the wing root rib.
2.
On the other wing, slide the other fuselage attachment pieces in front of the vertical
spar, using the provided slot.
3.
Make sure that you line up the holes on the reinforcements.
Don't glue these joints together yet, you'll glue
everything after the spar caps are attached. This is so that the CA doesn't over
saturate the wood and cause strength issues down the road.
Attaching the Spar Caps
For each wing, you will need:
•
2 spar caps (Figure F)
