1. Use medium CA to glue the die-cut 1/8" ply aileron

servo tray and supports in position. Glue the die-cut 1/8" ply
aileron servo tray doublers to the bottom of the aileron servo
tray. Test fit your aileron servo and adjust the notch in rib R-1,
if needed, so the aileron servo will fit. Remove the servo.

2. Cut the 3/32" x 3" x 36" balsa sheet into one 17-1/4"

long sheet and one 18-3/4" long sheet. Cut the 17-1/4"
piece in half, making two 8-5/8" long pieces. Cut the
18-3/4" piece in half, making two 9-3/8" long pieces.

3. Cut a curve on the end of one of the sheets, using the

plan as a guide. The curve does not have to be an exact
match. Use that one as a template to mark and cut the
three other sheets.

4. Fit and glue the two 8-5/8" long pieces to the top of

the wing.

5. Fit and glue the two 9-3/8" long pieces to the bottom

of the wing.

6. Cut pieces from a 3/32" x 3" x 30" balsa sheet to

cover the middle portion on the top and bottom of the wing.

7. From the remaining 3/32" x 3" x 30" balsa sheet, cut a

7" long piece. Using that 7" piece, cut and fit the aft center
section sheeting.

8. Using leftover 3/32" balsa, sheet the forward center

section over both top and bottom spars . Sand the sheeting
flush with the dihedral joiner.

1. Bevel the ends of the tapered, grooved balsa center

trailing edges so they join as shown on the plan. Test fit
the center TE's on the wing.
