STAB SHEETING
1 / 1 6 " X 3 " X 3 0 "
BALSA SHEETING
USE LEFTOVER
FOR FIN SHEETING
Q7. Sheet the stab with 1/16" x 3" x 30" balsa on
both the top and bottom. Do this with the stab
flat on your building board and use care not to
twist it as you glue the sheeting into place. Use
pieces of leftover 1/16" balsa sheeting to sheet
the stab tips.
Q 2. Cut the trailing edge from 1/2" x 15/16" x
36" balsa and pin it in place over the plan.
Ql 3. Cut both leading edges from 1/2" x 15/16"
x 36" balsa and pin them in place over the plan.
Q 4. Cut and fit the ribs from 1/8" x 1/2" x 30"
balsa. Cut the longer ribs first. When satisfied
with the fit, glue them into position.
Ql 8, Sand the trailing edge of the stab flat as
shown on the cross-section of the plan. Rough
sand the stab to the shape shown.
I—I 9. Mark the centerline on the rear edge of the
TE along its entire length.
l-l 5. Cut and shape the tips from 1/2" x 3/4" x
12" balsa using the plans as a guide. Glue and
pin them in place.
Note: It is important that the ribs fit the LE and
TE well. It is not important that each rib fit the
exact location shown on the plan.
Q 6. Remove the stab from the plan. Sand the
top and bottom surfaces flat and even. Use care
not to gouge any of the ribs.
LI 10. Cut the four stab filler blocks from 5/8" x
15/16" x 18" balsa and glue them to the center of
the stabTE as shown on the plan and photo.
Note that two of these blocks are cut to a width
of 3/4".
