Dynaflite DYFA2016 - Manual (Page 23)

Q Q 1. Use a razor saw to trim the spars and
leading edge dowel so the ends are nearly flush
with rib #2 at the root of the panel and rib #10 at
the tip of the panel. Sand the ends of the spars and
leading edge dowel flush with the root and tip ribs.
Q Q 2. Sand the end of the 5/8" x 1-3/4" x
approximately 18" balsa aileron so it accurately
matches the end of the trailing edge stock you glued
to the wing.
U LJ 3. Place a piece of leftover 1/16" balsa
between the end of the aileron and the trailing edge
stock to act as a spacer. Cut and sand the tip end of
the aileron so it is flush with tip rib #10.
U U 5. Use a hobby carving knife or a razor plane
to roughly carve the tip to the approximate shape.
Final shape the tip with progressively finer grits of
sandpaper to blend it to the wing and the shape
shown on the plan. When you get to the final stages
of shaping the tip, place the aileron on the wing to
help guide you in shaping the aft end of the wing tip.
USE THE DIMENSIONS SHOWN BELOW
TO BEVEL THE AILERON
1/8"
9/32"
U U 6. Mark the locations of the hinge slots on the
aileron and the aft trailing edge of the wing. Cut the
hinge slots. Make sure the height of the hinge slots on
the aft TE and the aileron are the same so the aileron
will be centered when you join it to the wing with the
hinges. Bevel the leading edge of the aileron as
shown in the sketch. Test fit the aileron to the wing
with the hinges.
Hey, you've completed the first wing panel already!
Q Q 4. Cut the 7/8" x 1 -3/8" x 12" tapered wing
tip stock into two 6" pieces. Use medium CA to glue
one of the tips to the panel joining them together while
they are both laying flat (so the tip curves down) on
your building table covered with wax paper.
Q 7. Arrange the plan so the left wing panel is over
your building board. Return to step 2 at Build The
Outer Wing Panels on page 21 and build the left
wing panel. Don't forget to switch to the left wing
panel so you don't build two rights!
