Step 28 - Wing Assembly (Ailerons only - A2, CH2)
Locate two more A2s from BP1, BP2 or
BP3, as well as one CH2 from LP8.
Now before I start this step, I'm gonna
put this out there for your consideration.
What you'll form with these three pieces is
the control horn of the aileron. Horn itself
is made from 3-ply plywood and will be
reinforced by wicking thin CA into it.
Although I have not had this happen with any of the prototypes,
I will admit that it is possible to break off this horn with rough
handling, hangar rash, or just plain bad luck. To repair the aileron
in this case, you would have to remove the covering and add
scrap wood to form the "seat" for a conventional control horn (not
included).
What I'm going to describe works perfectly fi ne and will last a long
time - as long as you take care in the storage and transportation of
your Minuette. So, if you're ready, let's get on with it.
Glue one of the two (outer) A2s in place
- it doesn't matter which one. Make sure
it's parallel with the ribs and in the correct
spot - in-line with the servo arm cutout in
SH1.
Once the glue has cured, you can remove
the aileron from your building board and
attach CH2. Note that the long horn on
CH2 should protrude out the bottom of
the aileron. Glue this in place up against the A2 you just installed.
Now glue the remaining A2 in place, up against CH2.
Lastly, using a bit of thin CA, wick it in all around the end of CH2.
This will strengthen it even further.

Step 29 - Wing Assembly (Ailerons only - hinge support)
Locate the 3/16"sq. balsa stick
you used to cut the leading edge
of the aileron. Now you'll cut
three additional lengths to form
the CA hinge supports inside the
aileron, backing up the leading
edge.
Cut one piece to fi t into the outer
gaps on each end. Then the other
one should fi t into the large gap in the middle of the aileron, as
shown in this
diagram, and on
the plans.

Step 30 - Wing Assembly (Anchor supports)
Locat
e 16 of WAs from LP4. Glue one on top
of the other to form 8 thicker WAs.
Refer to the plans as these are glued into
place in 8 different places on each wing half.
Start with the bottom 4 fi rst, making sure they
are fl at against the building surface.
The other 4 will be fl ush with the top edges
of the ribs which means you'll need to angle
them slightly.
Also note that the WAs that attach to the rear
end of R5 are offset slightly to allow them to fi t
within the wing's thickness.
Set the port wing half aside and begin work on the starboard
wing half. Tape the starboard wing plan and fresh wax paper
on your board. Then follow steps 1 through 30 to complete the
starboard wing half. Once fi nished, then move on to step 31.
Note that when building the starboard half that many of the parts
will need to be glued to the opposite side (the WH1, WH2, and
the wing tip pieces for instance). Always refer to the plans to
make sure you’re gluing the parts together in the correct way.
n
Step 31 - Wing Assembly (Center section)
Position the center section of the wing plan on your building
surface and tape into position. Tear off a
length of waxed paper long enough to
cover it and tape that into position, over
the plan.
n
Step 32 - Wing Assembly (DH1)
Locate both DH1s They will be glued together to form the wing's
dihedral brace.
Note that if there is a bow to
these pieces, that's OK. Mix up
some 15 or 30 minute epoxy and
apply it to the concave surfaces
of each DH1. Then carefully align
them, weight them down and
allow the glue to cure to form a
solid, one-piece dihedral brace. Make sure these parts are perfectly
aligned and that no glue makes it into four the pre-cut grooves.
n
Step 33 - Wing Assembly (R1, R2)
Locate both R1s and R2s from LP4. These are to be inserted into
the slots of DH1. Carefully sand the
slots as necessary to get a good,
slop-free fi t.
DON'T GLUE THESE IN PLACE
JUST YET.
Also note that the two outer ribs
(R2s) will be angled as part of the
dihedral. Set this aside for now.
n
Step 34 - Wing Assembly (TP1)
Locate CS2 from BP12. Pin this in place as
shown here.
n
Step 35 - Wing Assembly (WH5)
Now locate one WH5 from LP6. Glue it in
place, inside the cutout of CS2.
