Step 29 - Wing Assembly (lower rear sub-spar)

Locate one 1/4” square balsa 

stick. This is used as the lower 

rear 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 and all of the sheer webs.

Step 30 - Wing Assembly (WH2)

Locate one of the WH2s 

from LP10.

This will fit as shown - into 

the notch in DH2, as well 

as the notches in R2 and 

R3.

Glue this in place, making 

sure that the pre-cut hole 

is closer to R3.

Step 31 - Wing Assembly (WH1)

Locate one of the WH1s 

from LP10.

This will fit as shown - into 

the notches in R2 and R3.

Glue this in place, making 

sure that the pre-cut hole 

is closer to R3.

Step 32 - Wing Assembly (bottom sheeting.)

Just as you did with the 

top sheeting, it’s time to 

sheet the bottom of the 

wing to fill in the gaps 

between R2 and R3. 

Working on one section 

at a time and when 

satisfied with the fit, glue 

each of these sheeting 

pieces into position.

Step 33 - Wing Assembly (remove tabs)

Remove the tabs on each of the ribs. Rather than snapping them 

off, use a hobby knife (or razor blade) to carefully cut them away to 

preserve the airfoil shape of each rib. It’s better to not cut enough 

off than cut too much, as the excess will be sanded away in the 

next step.

Step 34 - Wing Assembly (sanding)

It’s time to sand the wing to the proper shape. Start with a coarser 

grit (80-100) to round the leading edge, shape the trailing edge, 

and round the edges of the wing tips. Take care not to remove too 

much, too quickly - you can always take more off, but you can’t put 

it back on! 

On the trailing edge, it will require a bit more shaping.

Switch to a finer grit (150-200) to smooth 

out the entire wing.

Step 35 - Wing Assembly (R1)

Locate 1 R1 from LP8 or 

LP10. R1 is laminated to 

R2 and the surrounding 

sheeting, which is now 

hopefully sanded smooth 

and flat. Although C/A 

glue can be used, we 

recommend epoxy for 

this step.

You should also have a couple of scrap lengths of 3/8” square 

basswood stock that could be used as guides to locate R1. If you 

do use those as shown here, be very careful not to glue these 

pieces into the wing.

Step 36 - Wing Assembly (rear strut mount)

Locate two SS1 pieces from LP7 

and one of the steel straps.

On the plans you’ll see the 

location for the rear strut mount, 

attached to the inner R7 rib.

The straps have 3 holes pre-

stamped into them and the 

middle hole is closer to one side 

than the other. The strap should 

be positioned so the end with 

the 2 closer holes is inside the wing, and the other end protruding 

from the bottom wing’s surface by a 1/4” to 3/8”. It also should rest 

flat against the sheer web and be up against the R7 rib.

Use a drop or two of C/A glue to tack it in position.

Now glue the SS1s in position as shown in the photo. Make sure 

that one of the SS1s is flush with the bottom of the wing’s surface.

Once these are in position, mix up a little epoxy and flood the area 

between the two SS1s to lock the strap in position.

Step 37 - Wing Assembly (rear strut mount)

After the epoxy has cured from 

the previous step, locate two SS1 

pieces from LP7 and another  of 

the steel straps.

On the plans you’ll see the 

location for the front strut mount, 

attached to the inner R7 rib.

Using the same technique as 

before, tack the strap in place, 

then glue the SS1s in position as 

shown in the photo. Make sure 

that one of the SS1s is flush with the bottom of the wing’s surface.

Once these are in position, mix up a little epoxy and flood the area 

between the two SS1s to lock the strap in position.

Step 38 - Wing Assembly (panel complete)

This completes the assembly of the starboard wing panel. Now 

remove the starboard wing plan from your board and attach the 

Sand excess

trailing edge stock.
