Slide the wing ribs into position on the
bottom spar Glue the wing ribs to the spar
and TE sheeting using medium CA. Glue the
R3A and R3B wing ribs to the R2 rib of the
center panel using medium CA.
Q Q 20. Use thin CA to glue the tip dihedral
brace to the spars in both the center and tip
wing panels. Use medium CA to fill any gaps
between the spar and dihedral brace.This must
be a very strong glue joint.
on the table, use medium CA to glue the balsa
shear webs to the front and back of the spars,
between the R3 and R4 ribs, and to the front of
the spars from R4 to R8.
Q Q 24. Cut a 1/4" x 1/2" x 24" balsa leading
edge to length for the center panel. Align the
bottom of the leading edge to the bottom of the
wing sheeting. Use medium CA to glue the
leading edge to the ribs and sheeting on center
panel. Cut another 1/4" x 1/2" x 24" balsa
leading edge to length, allowing it to extend 1"
past the wing tip rib R10. Sand the end of the LE
so it fits against the LE on the center panel
without any gaps. Align the LE to the bottom of
the ribs on the outer panel and glue it into
position using medium CA.
Q Q 25. Cut both of the wing tips using a 3/32"
x 3" x 24" balsa sheet.
Q t-l 21. Locate another of the 1/8" x 3/8" x 24"
balsa spars. Cut the spar to length. Glue the
spar into the top rib notches using medium CA.
Q 0 22.Trim a 1/16" x 1-1/4" x 24" balsa trailing

the sheet into position on the top of the ribs.
Q Q 23. 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
Q LI 26. Use medium CA to glue the wing tip

bottom of the wing. Add the bracing using the
remaining 3/32" x 3" x 24" balsa sheet.
Q Q 27. From the remaining 3/32" x 3" x 24"
balsa sheet, make the gussets for the wing tip
