32. Using scrap 3/32” sheeting, cut 1/4” wide
cap strips to fit the remaining seven ribs
left exposed. Glue these on ribs R5 thru
R10 centered on rib.
33. Glue cap strip to R11 flush with the outside
of the rib. You will be adding a wingtip to
this rib later.
35. Remove the wing from your building sur-
face. Check all glue joints and re-glue as
necessary. Pay particular attention to the
shear webs.
36. Run a 5/32” drill thru the vertical gear block
and sheeting. This will allow you to locate
the landing gear groove later.
37. Break off the tabs on the front and back of
R1 thru R11. Lightly sand any imperfec-
tions left in those areas.
38. Turn wing upside down. Place a 1” tall
block under the trailing edge at R1 and a
1/2” block under the trailing edge at R11.
this will maintain the correct washout. You
can also cut a block to fit under R6 to
insure the trailing edge doesn’t flex while
sheeting the wing. Pin the wing to these
blocks and to the building surface.
39. Taper the 1/4” sq. trailing edge piece to
match the wing taper and glue a 3/32” x 1”
x 30” sheet in place as was done in step
25.
40. Fit and glue tapered LE sheet in place as
was done in steps 28, 29 and 30.
41. Sheet the center section from R1 thru R4
as was done in step 31.
42. Cap strip as was done in step 32.
Repeat steps 17 thru 42 to construct
left wing panel.
