16. Dry assemble 1/8” x 1/4” turbulator stock to top and bottom of wing assembly. It is very helpful to do both sides
at once, as you are able to apply more even pressure to the top and bottom of the wing rib. Do not force the fit.
17. Now is the time to finalize the wing. Invert the wing assembly on your flat surface allowing it to rest on the
center spar and the riser jigs. Carefully place sand bags over wing to hold it flat to the work surface. Inspect
the wing to make certain that each joint is properly seated.
Starting with the main spar wick thin CA glue along the entire length of the spar cap – spar structure.
Next wick Thin CA into the turbulator – rib joints.
Now move on to the leading edge and wick thin CA along each surface joint.
Glue the trailing edge surfaces as above.
Next wick thin CA along all of the interface points between the spar and the ribs.
Wick thin CA into the servo pocket – rib joints.
And finally wick CA glue into all joints in the center section paying particular attention to the landing
gear block..
Inspect your work to ensure that all surface to surface joints are properly bonded and that no joint has
been left out.
Remove the sand bags and continue on with assembly.
