WING PANEL CONSTRUCTION
The KADET LT-40’s wing is designed to be built in two halves - called the LEFT WING PANEL and the RIGHT WING PANEL
(see full-size Plan Sheet 2). Each wing panel should be built directly on top of its own plan, using the plan as a pattern to
position the parts. It’s best to work on just one wing panel at a time. Occasionally you will find as you are working on one wing
panel that the parts you have already installed will be covering up some of the plan lines and text that you are looking for in a
subsequent step. In that case, simply refer to the other wing panel plan (the one you are not using) to see what is covered up.
Let’s get started by building the LEFT WING PANEL first!
REMEMBER:
These instructions are written assuming the use of MEDIUM CA glue for all steps, unless otherwise noted. In other
words, if an instruction simply says "glue" part A to part B - use MEDIUM CA!
1.
Cut the drawing of the LEFT WING PANEL loose from the rest of Plan Sheet 2.
Tape or pin it on top of your building board. Then cover the plan with a sheet of
wax paper, also taped down. This will keep excess glue from sticking to the plan
when you are gluing the parts in place.
2.
Locate two 1/4"x1/2"x36" hardwood pieces for the Main Wing Spars and two
1/4"x1/2"x10-1/8" balsa pieces for the Spar Doublers (see the wing cross-section
drawings on Plan Sheet 2 to understand the location of the Spar Doublers). Use
Slow CA to glue a Spar Doubler onto one end of each Main Wing Spar, making
sure that the sides of the pieces are flush with each other before the glue dries.
3.
Pin one of the Main Wing Spar assemblies from the previous step in position on
the plan. This assembly will now be referred to as the Bottom Main Spar.
IMPORTANT: Position the Bottom Main Spar on the plan precisely by lining up the
inboard end of the Spar Doubler flush with the location of the first W5 wing rib
(look for note on plan that says "1/4"x1/2" BALSA SPAR DOUBLERS END
HERE).
4.
Use a razor saw to cut off the excess tip end of the Bottom Main Spar flush with the outside edge of the last W5 wing rib
(see note on plan, "BOTTOM SPAR ENDS HERE").
5.
Pin die-cut balsa wing sheeting piece WS-B2 in place on the plan, gluing its front edge to the back of the Bottom Main Spar
at the same time.
6.
Locate one 1/4"x3/8"x36" balsa stick for use as the Bottom Rear Spar and pin it in place on the plan, gluing it to the rear
edge of WS-B2 at the same time. Cut off the tip end of the Bottom Rear Spar flush with the outside edge of the last W5
wing rib (see note on plan, "BOTTOM SPAR ENDS HERE").
7.
Pin die-cut balsa wing sheeting piece WS-B3 in place on the plan, gluing its front edge to the back of the Bottom Rear Spar
at the same time.
