Great Planes T-Craft 20 Kit - GPMA0155 - Manual (Page 20)

❏ ❏ 1. Cover the wing tip portion of the wing plan with
waxed paper or Great Planes Plan Protector.
❏ ❏
2. Assemble one wing tip from one of each of the die-cut
1/8" balsa parts T-1, T-2 and T-3. There are two of each part
(one for each wing tip). Position the wing tip parts over the plan
and glue them together. Fill any gaps with medium CA, then
sand smooth.
❏ ❏ 3. Glue the wing tip perpendicular to rib W-6. The TE of
the wing tip should be centered on the LE of the aileron. The
LE of the wing tip should be centered on the LE of the wing.
❏ ❏
4. Glue the die-cut 3/32" balsa wing tip support (TS)
to W-6, the ends of the main spar and T-2. Sand the end of
the tip support flush with the wing tip and sand the top and
bottom edges of the tip support to blend into the wing tip.
❏ ❏ 5. From the 3/8" x 3/8" x 8" balsa stick, cut and glue tip
blocks to the top of the wing tip TE and the top and bottom
of the wing tip LE.
❏ ❏ 6. Shape the tip blocks to blend in to the edge of the wing
tip, LE and TE. Sand a radius on the edge of the wing tip.
❏
7. Return to step 1 of Assemble and Install the Wing
Tips and build the second wing tip.
❏ ❏ 1. With waxed paper or Plan Protector positioned over
the fuse plan, pin the die-cut 1/8" balsa forward lower
fuselage (FLF), forward center fuselage (FCF) and
forward top fuselage (FTF) in position over the plan and
glue together. Important: Save the leftover balsa from the
1/8" die sheets for use later when making wing shims.
