Great Planes ESP6 Easy Sport 60 - GPMA0152 - Manual (Page 21)

D 1. On the Easy Sport 40 locate the four die-cut 1/8"
balsa wing tips. Using medium CA as shown, laminate
two of the wing tip pieces together. Perform this step
twice. You will end up with two 1/4" thick wing tips. The
Easy Sport 60 uses two die-cut 3/16" balsa wing tips
that are not glued together.
D 4. Sand the tip braces, tip blocks and tips to a
rounded and pleasing shape (see the Tip Cross
Sections on the plan). Also sand the front and rear
corners of the tips to a radius as shown on the plan.
D 2. Sand the TE of the wing so that it is straight and
square. Glue the balsa wing tip, perpendicular to and
centered on rib #7 (rib #6 on the Easy Sport 60), with
medium CA as shown. Repeat for the other wing.
D 1. Locate the two 1/4" x 1-1/4" x 30" (5/16" x 1-3/8" x
30" on the Easy Sport 60) balsa aileron strips. Carefully
measure and cut one aileron and TE tip from each of the
aileron strips as shown above.
D 2. C a r e f u l l y mark a centerline on the LE of
each aileron.
D 3. Locate the die-cut 1/8" (3/16" on the Easy Sport 60)
balsa triangle tip braces and glue in place as shown on
the plan. Also, locate the 1/2" x 7/8" x 4" balsa block
from which the tip blocks will be cut. Cut the balsa
block into four equal lengths. The Easy Sport 60 comes
with pre-cut 3/4" x 1" x 1" tip blocks. Glue the tip blocks
in place at the front of the wing tips, top and bottom.
D 3. Center a TE tip on the outboard TE and the
protruding portion of the wing tip as shown. Hold in this
position and glue in place with thin CA. Repeat this step
for the other wing tip.
D 4. Using the plan as a guide, mark the hinge
locations on both ailerons and cut the hinge slots.
