❏ 10. Tape the leading edge of the elevator to the trailing
edge of the stabilizer, aligning the ends. Use a sanding bar
with 220-grit sandpaper to round the leading edge of the
stabilizer, the ends of the stabilizer and elevator and the
trailing edge of the elevator.

❏ 11. Remove the elevator from the stab and sand the LE
of the elevator at an angle as shown.

Start by building the left wing panel right side up over the
left wing panel plan so your progress matches the photos.

❏ ❏ 1. Cover the left wing panel plan with Great Planes
Plan Protector.

❏ ❏ 2. Match the 1/8" x 1/4" x 24" (3.2mm x 6.4mm x
609.6mm) balsa main spars so any warps will counteract
each other.

❏ ❏ 3. Pin one of the main spars in position over the plan,
aligning one end of the main spar with the outside edge of
the root rib W1A.

❏ ❏ 4. Pin one of the 1/32" x 3/4" x 24" (.8mm x 19mm x
609.6mm) balsa trailing edge sheets in position over the
plan, aligning one end of the trailing edge sheet with the
outside edge of the root rib W1A.

❏ ❏ 5. Starting at the wing tip, glue the seven laser-cut 1/16"
(1.6mm) balsa W1 and one W1A rib over the main spar and
trailing edge sheet, perpendicular to the building board.
Important: Do not install the W1A root rib until the next step.

❏ ❏ 6. Position the W1A root rib in place over the main
spar. Use the laser-cut 1/16" (1.6mm) balsa dihedral
gauge
to set the rib at the proper angle before gluing it to
the main spar and the trailing edge sheet.
