Note: The Daydream wing, much like the
fuselage, is designed with simplicity and ease
of building in mind. Always remember to test fit
parts before using glue to make any
adjustments for the best possible fit.
Q Q 1. Cut the "right wing panel" section
from the plan and tape it on your building
board. Tape a piece of wax paper or Plan
Protector over the plan.
Q LJ 2. Locate one of the 1/16" x 3" x 24" balsa
leading edge sheets. Use a straightedge to
true up one edge of the sheet. Align the end of
the sheet with the outer R2 wing rib, and the aft
edge of the sheet along the aft edge of the spar.
Pin the sheet into position.
Q Q 3. Locate one of the 1/8" x 3/8" x 24"
basswood spars. Using the spar location from
the plan, glue the spar to the sheet using
medium CA.
Q Q 4. Pin one of the 1/16" x 1-1/4" x 24" balsa
trailing edge sheets in its proper location.
Mark the positions of the R1 Ribs on both the
trailing edge sheet and the spar.
Ql Q 5. Add the center sheeting between the
trailing edge sheeting and spar using 1/16" x 3"
x 24" balsa. The sheeting is located only under
the R1 Ribs.
Q Q 6. Remove the die-cut 1/16" balsa wing
ribs R1 and R2 from the die-cut sheets. Slide
the wing ribs into position on the bottom spar.
QQ17. Use the die-cut 1/8" ply dihedral gauge
to set the angle of the root rib. Use thin CA to
glue the R1 and R2 ribs to the spar and trailing
edge sheeting. Note: Do not glue the ribs to the
leading edge sheeting at this time.
Q Q 8. Locate another of the 1/8" x 3/8" x 24"
basswood spars. Glue the spar into the top rib
notches using medium CA.
Q Q 9. Trim a piece of 1/16" x 3" x 24" balsa
sheet to a width of 2-5/16". Use this sheet to
make the shear webs. With the panel held flat
on the table, use medium CA to glue the balsa
shear webs to the spars, between all the ribs
in front of the spars. Notice there are shear
webs on both sides of the spars between the
R1 ribs and only in front of the spars between
the remainder of the ribs.
Note: The function of the shear webs is to keep
the spars from collapsing.They will not need to
