2. Place the wing tip over the plan and
mark the location of the tip ribs. Glue one of the
die-cut 3/32" [2.4mm] balsa tip ribs (TR) to the
wing tip. The outer edge of the tip rib should
align with the outer edge of the wing tip.
Maintaining a 90° angle as shown, sand the
inner edge of the tip rib even with the tip.

3. Glue the other tip rib into position
and sand the end as well.
Do not use any glue in the following
two steps.

5. Center the trailing edge of the wing
tip on the trailing edge of the wing. Center the
leading edge of the wing tip on the leading
edge of the wing. For clarity in the photo, a
reference line has been drawn on the end of the
wing noting where the center of the leading
edge
will be when the panel is finally rounded
to shape.

7. Make the tip ribs for the bottom of
the wing tip from leftover 3/32" [2.4mm] balsa
and glue them into position. Sand the top and
bottom tip ribs even with the top and bottom of
the wing and the wing tip.
