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.
