Wing
Basic assembly methodology: When assembled on a flat work surface, this wing will jig together and self align to create
one of the straightest wings you have ever built. As each part relies on the successive component to achieve this try to
rely on friction and the interlocking construction to hold the wing together throughout the building process hold off on
significantly gluing the wing until the assembly is complete. Another method we suggest is: tack-gluing joints at the tab
and notch point then finalizing the assembly of the wing by flowing thin CA glue along the surface joints – this allows the
individual components to shift and align as each part is added – once all the pieces are in-place the assembly will be
pulled together straight and true.

2.
Locate ribs R1 - R5 and fit to slots in wing spar.
Do not glue the rib into position yet!
3.
Locate parts W1 (1/32” Ply), W2, and W3. Dry fit these components together to create a left and right servo
pocket. Gently fit the pocket to Spar S1 and rib R2 using the pre-cut notches in both the spar and rib.
