❏ ❏ 10. Lift the wing off your work surface. If this is
your second time through this section, go back to
the start of “BUILD THE WING” and build the other
wing half. If this is your fourth time through this
section, go to “FINISH THE WING”.

❏ ❏ 11. Flip your wing over, aligning the spar over
the spar on the plans. Notice how you did not have
to move your wing jig -- it still sets the washout for
your wing.

❏ ❏ 12. From the 1" x 3" x 7-7/8" balsa block, cut
and fit the filler block between ribs W1 and W2.
Sand the block to the shape of the ribs. When
satisfied with the fit, glue it in place.

❏ ❏ 13. Glue two 1/2" x 3/4" x 3/4" basswood strut
blocks into the forward and rear strut braces and to
W5.

❏ ❏ 14. Using a piece of leftover 3/32" balsa, fit and
glue a cap onto the bottom of the rear strut block.

❏ ❏ 15. Sand the trailing edge sheeting as shown
in the cross section on the plans and in the photo.

❏ ❏ 16. Glue the remaining balsa shear webs in
place, as shown on the plans.

❏ ❏ 17. Sand the 1/8" sub leading edge and the
1/4" trailing edge to match the contour of the ribs.
❏ ❏ 18. Trim the leading edge sheeting flush with
the sub leading edge, W2A, DP, W1A and the tip
rib.

❏ ❏ 19. Sand the sheeting flush with the root rib.

❏ ❏ 20. Glue the die-cut 3/32" balsa W4 rib doubler
in place at the root end of the aileron bay, then trim
the sheeting flush with the outside of the doubler.

❏ ❏ 21. Go back to step one of “SHEET THE
WING” and sheet the bottom of this wing panel.
