LJ 18. Glue all the #2 ribs to the spar and TE with
medium CA. Use a small 90 degree triangle to keep
the ribs vertical as you apply the glue.
U 22. One at a time, remove the T-pins from the
bottom TE sheeting. Replace them in the rear of the
ribs to hold the aft end of the wing panel to your
building board. This will allow you to
glue the top TE sheeting in position without
interfering with the T-pins.
Q 23. Test fit and final shape the 1 /4" x 6" tapered
balsa trailing edge stock so it is the same height and
has the same taper angle as the "notched section" of
the #2 ribs and there will be enough room to inset
the 1/8" x 3/16" x 4" basswood stick so it will be
even with the TE.
Q 19. Read the Tip that follows. Glue the 5/16" x
30" hardwood leading edge dowel to the ribs with
medium CA.
Tip: Spray the dowel with CA Accelerator before
you position it on the fronts of the ribs. This
way the CA will be sure to cure immediately,
reducing the time you have to hold the dowel
in position.
Q 20. Test fit the 1/8" x 1/8" x 30" basswood
turbulator spars in the notches of the ribs. Glue
them in place with medium or thin CA.
Q 21. Glue a die-cut 1/16" gusset to the bottom
sheeting and outer rib #2 at both ends of the wing
panel.
Q 24. Use medium CA to glue the trailing edge
stock to the end of the #1 ribs and the bottom TE
sheeting. Cut a notch in the bottom TE sheeting for
the 1/8" x 3/16"x 4" basswood stick. Glue it in
position as shown in the photo.
Note: The 1/8" side of the stick should contact the
plan while the 3/16" sides should be vertical.
U 25. Use the 1/16" x 3" balsa sheet to make six
vertical grain shear webs to fit between the #2 ribs of
the left side of the panel. Glue all the shear webs -
except the shear web between the outer set of #2
