56.
To make the slats, apply a thin film of wood glue to
the 1/32” slat bottom that has the six small notches.
Put the 1/32” slat top on to the slat bottom and
carefully align them. Place the slat onto a 3” to 4”
diameter tube (like PVC tube) and tape down to the
tube. Apply enough tape to keep the slat completely
against the tube and allow to dry. Once dry, remove
the slat from the tube and carefully cut out the six
notches. Round over the leading edge of the slat and
sand a slight taper to the trailing edge so that it has an
airfoil like cross section. Cover the slats.
57.
Carefully cut away the covering from the slat pockets
in the leading edge of the wing panels. Fit the 1/16”
ply slat supports into the pockets, DO NOT glue them
in if you want the slats to be removable.
58.
Carefully fit and glue the slats to the slat supports.
59.
Glue the 1/32” ply aileron core to the 1/32” balsa
aileron top (with the small notches).
