WF3 and WB3 in place
before moving on to
the second.
For the third R5, the
WB2 is used as the front
sheer web. It’s etched
circle should point
towards the root of the
wing.
Step 12 - Wing Assembly (attach R4)
Locate one R4 from BP4, and
one WB3 web from BP9.
Attach the R4 and WB3
pieces in place as shown.
Step 13 - Wing Assembly (attach DH2 & DH3)
Locate one DH2 from LP4 and one DH3 from LP9.
Notice that these pieces have a small
circle etched in the upper corner. This
notes the beveled side for the wing
panel’s dihedral and should be pointed
towards the root rib (R2).
Place DH3 in front of the spar and DH2
aft of the spar, with their tabs inserted
fully into the slots in R4.
When satisfied with the position, glue these in place.
Step 14 - Wing Assembly (attach R3B)
Locate one R3B rib from BP4. Position
it as shown, making sure the tab in the
front of the rib is fully inserted into the
slot in DH2.
When satisfied with the position, glue
in place.
Step 15 - Wing Assembly (attach R2)
Locate one R2 rib from BP5
and one WB1 from BP9.
WB1 has an etched circle as
well, showing the side that
should glue to R2.
Position in place as shown
and note that R2 will have a
slight angle when properly
aligned - this is normal. When satisfied with the position, glue
these pieces in place.
Step 16 - Wing Assembly (attach R3A)
Locate one R3A from BP1. This
glues to DH3 as shown here. Makes
sure is straight, then glue into
position.
Step 17 - Wing Assembly (upper spar)
This next part takes a bit of time,
so we recommend against using
an instant setting glue. If you are
using CA, use a thicker formulation
that gives you a bit of working
time.
Measure and cut one of the 3/8”
square basswood strips to use as
the upper spar. Apply glue to the
top of the ribs where they will contact the upper spar.
Working from the tip rib (R8), carefully press the upper spar into
position. This will be a tight fit and might require “wiggling” the
spar from side to side to slip in-between the sheer webs. Be sure to
press the spar completely into the slot in each rib, making it flush
with the sheer webs.
Now wick thin C/A along the spar to sheer web joints along the
entire length of the spar
When fitting the upper spar to make the top of the dihedral box,
be careful not to drip excess glue into the box formed between
R2 and R1.
Step 18 - Wing Assembly (rear upper sub-spar)
Locate one 1/4” square
balsa stick. This is used as
the rear sub-spar. Using the
same technique you did in
the previous step, measure,
cut and glue this piece in
position. Be sure it is glued
to each rib and rear sheer
web.
Step 19 - Wing Assembly (leading edge & sub-spars)
Locate two 1/4” square
balsa sticks. These are
used as the front sub-spars.
Using the same technique
you did the in the previous
steps, measure, cut and
glue these pieces in
position. Also locate one
3/8” square basswood
strip, this will be the
leading edge. Measure, cut and glue this in position. Be sure all
three of these strips are glued to each rib.
Step 20 - Wing Assembly (rear spar)
Locate one of the
1/4” x 1” balsa sticks.
Measure and cut this
to fit in the front
groove cut into the R6
and R7 ribs. It should
be flush with the R8
and R5 ribs as shown.
Make sure this is fully inserted, and when properly in position, glue
in place.
