Construction Manual

Step 21 - Wing Assembly (aileron leading edge)

Locate remaining 1/4” 

x 1” balsa strip from 

the previous step as 

it now becomes the 

leading edge of the 

aileron. No need to trim 

this as it should be the 

proper length if you’ve 

measured correctly in the previous step. Center this between the 

R5 and R8 ribs, make sure this is fully inserted, and when properly 

in position, glue in place.

Step 22 - Wing Assembly (trailing edge)

Locate one 1/4” x 1” 

balsa strip. Measure 

and cut this to form 

the trailing edge of the 

wing. This piece should 

start at R2, and go in 5 

ribs to the last R5. This 

piece will glue into the 

pre-cut notches at the 

end of each of these ribs. If properly positioned it will also be 

angled to match the curve of the wing’s top surface. When satisfied 

with the position, glue it in place, making sure it is glued to each 

of the ribs.

Step 23 - Wing Assembly (R5B)

Locate two R5Bs from BP5 and 

the leftover 1/4” x 1” strip from 

the previous step.

Most of the pieces of the 

Robinhood 80 are notched for 

perfect fits, but the R5Bs are not. 

These will require you to place 

them in the correct position.

As you can see in this diagram, 

the R5Bs will glue to the end of 

the aileron leading edge (one 

on each end of the strip). They 

should to be positioned so the 

front, angled edge is flush with 

the front edge of the 1/4” x 1” aileron leading edge. Also make 

sure that both RB5s are parallel with the other ribs.

Step 24 - Wing Assembly (aileron trailing edge)

Locate the leftover 1/4” 

x 1” balsa strip that you 

cut to make the wing’s 

trailing edge. This piece 

will be used to create the 

aileron’s trailing edge. 

It should be cut so it 

perfectly fits between the 

two R5B pieces you installed in the last step. It should not be a 

forced fit that would push the R5B’s out of alignment.

Once cut and positioned, glue it in place, making sure it is attached 

to all of the ribs.

Step 25 - Wing Assembly (gussets)

Along the leading and trailing 

edges, there are number of G1 

gussets to be glued in place. 

These gussets can be found 

on BP1, BP2, BP3 and BP4.

We found it easiest to 

hold these small parts by 

“stabbing” them with a hobby 

knife and using it to position the gussets while the glue cured. 

Step 26 - Wing Assembly (top sheeting)

Using one of the 1/16” 

balsa sheets, measure 

and cut the sheeting 

to cover the openings 

between the R2 and R3 

ribs. 

The design of the R2 

and R3 ribs will allow the 

sheeting to be flush with 

the spars, the leading 

edge and trailing edge.

Working on one section at a time, and note that the center gap 

(between the main spar and the rear sub-spar) will require a couple 

1/16th pieces to be edge joined together to cover the gap.

Once satisfied with the fit, glue each of these sheeting pieces into 

position.

Step 27 - Wing Assembly (cut aileron away from wing)

This step will involve 

removing the wing panel 

from the board, but 

before you do, double 

check that all the ribs, 

webs and spars are 

securely and properly 

glued to each other.

Now it’s time to lift 

the wing panel from 

your building board - 

removing any pins you have used first!

Flip the wing over and cut the aileron 

away from the wing. The preferred place 

to cut is in the middle of each back tab - 

as shown here.

Step 28 - Wing Assembly (lower front sub-spar)

Locate one 1/4” square balsa 

stick. This is used as the lower 

front sub-spar. Using the same 

technique you did the in past 

steps, measure, cut and glue 

this in position.

Be this strip is glued to each 

rib.
