Cut four 21" pieces from two 1/16” x 4” x 48” balsa sheets
Edge glue two 21" sheet together and edge glue the remain-
ing 6" sheet to the top sheet as shown. Make two sheets
(one for top and one for bottom).
Sheet the top of the stab. Once dry, remove from the building
board and trim the edges as shown.
Break the tabs off S1-S8. Don't worry if the stab is a little
warped because the jigs used in the next step will insure it is
straight.
Align the S8 jig over S8 on the plans and pin in place. Do the
same with the remaining S8, S5 & S2 jigs.
Rest the stab on the jigs and adjust their position to fit the
stab if necessary. Pin the stab assembly to the jigs.
Align and glue S14 to the outside of S1 as shown. Repeat for
the other S14
Option: If you are going to use hinges other than CA, now is
the time to add hinge reinforcement blocks to the stab.
Measure and cut two slots in the top sheeting for the S14
pieces.
Sheet the top of the stab with the sheeting piece made in the
previous steps.
Remove from building board and trim edges as shown.
Cut a piece of 1/4” x 3/8” x 36” balsa stock to 4". Align and
glue to S10.
Cut two pieces of 1/4” x 3/8” to 9-1/2" and bevel one end to
match the plans. Glue to S11 on each side. Cut the end flush
with S8.
