D D 12. Turn the wing panel upside down and install a
front spar on the bottom of the wing. Glue in place with
thin CA.
NOTE: Make sure that the DG is facing the proper
direction. Remove the wing from the building surface
and using a razor saw, carefully cut off all excess
sheeting, spars, LE and TE even with the lines you just
drew. Now, sand the ends of the parts you just trimmed
until they are smooth and flush with the lines.
D D 13. Turn the wing right side up and glue the #8 ribs
in place with medium CA. Use the plan as a guide for
positioning the ribs.
D 17. Turn the wing plan around so the Left Wing
Panel is facing you. Cover it with waxed paper and build
the left wing panel in the same manner as the right
panel, following steps 2-16.
D D 14. Now, go over the entire wing panel making
sure all joints are securely glued. Add thin and/or thick
CA glue where necessary. Make sure that you double
glue the shear webs with medium CA.
D D 15. Using a razor saw, carefully cut off all excess
sheeting, spars, LE and TE even with the outboard edge
of rib #7 (rib #6 on the Easy Sport 60). Now, sand the
ends flush with the face of the rib.
D 1. Locate the two 1/16" (1/8" on the Easy Sport 60)
birch ply wing joiners. Before you remove them from
the die-cut sheet, draw a line connecting the two punch
marks using a pencil and straightedge. Be sure to mark
both sides.
D 2. Starting with the right wing panel, test fit the wing
joiners to the front and rear of the main spar. The wing
joiners must slide far enough so that the pencil marks
line up with the ends of the spar.
D D 16. Temporarily pin the wing half back over the plan.
On the Easy Sport 40, place the dihedral gauge (DG) on
the centerline as shown and mark the LE, front spars,
main spars, TE sheeting and TE. On the Easy Sport 60,
place the dihedral gauge on the centerline as shown and
mark the front spars, main spars, TE sheeting and TE.
Mark the LE at the side of rib #1A.
NOTE: You may need to adjust the pre-cut slots to
provide enough clearance for the wing joiner to slide.
