Wing Construction Continued
☐
Use plan sheet as a guide to locate and
install X rib trussing in leading edge of wing.
Trussing fits between top and bottom spar,
against spar web, and centered with leading
edge notch in rib/sub-rib. Tack glue to retain.
☐
Cut 1/4 in. square stock to fit leading edge
and bond to wing using medium CA glue.
☐
Dry fit 1/8 in. x 3/16 in. x 24 in. turbulator
stock staggered at wing center as illustrated.
☐
Fit remainder of turbulator stock for both top
and bottom of wing. Remember turbulators
sit 3/32 in proud of interior ribs and flush with
ribs R1 and R5. Flatten wing against your
building surface then glue turbulator stock at
each contact point with ribs.
☐
With wing held flat against your work surface
proceed to thoroughly glue all mating
surfaces paying particular attention to spar,
webbing, and rib intersections.
☐
Use thick CA glue to fillet each X rib trussing
at spar and leading edge joints.
☐
With wing assembly complete use a sharp
razor blade to remove the riser tabs from the
underside of each rib.
☐
Framing is now complete relax with a good
cup of coffee and rub the dog’s ears.
