Wing Procedure (substitute the modifications below where applicable).
1. For Bolt-On wing there are only two part changes,
instead of the 5/64" die-cut No. 1 Ribs, use the new 1/8"
balsa No. 1 ribs. Balsa filler blocks must be glued inside
the wing at the Trailing Edge. The instructions will
remind you when to add these parts.
2. After wing is completely assembled, cut a 1/4" wide
opening through the bottom sheeting for the 1/4" diam-
eter wing dowel. Glue dowel into wing and glue wedge
shaped filler between dowel front and bottom sheeting.
3. Cut two 1/8" wide slots through wing bottom sheeting on
either side of dowel location. Apply epoxy or Slow Jet to
side and top edges of 1/8" plywood rib, and slide it into
position next to rib 1 and dowel. Glue remaining rib to
opposite side.
Glue scrap 2-1/2" wide nylon fabric around dowel and
ply ribs up around wing bottom.
