front edge of the spar. Immediately place the wing on
your flat work surface and press the sheeting into place.
Use a piece of wood (an aileron works OK) to hold the
sheeting in place while the glue cures. It is important to
keep the wing flat during this process as the LE sheeting
will "lock" the wing together.
D 10. First glue the sheeting against the LE sheeting
already in place. Try to line up the edges as closely as
possible. Drip some thick CA down the ribs and press
the sheeting into place. Add CA along the LE and use a
small but flat piece of wood to keep the sheeting straight
along the LE (turtle deck former T1 works well for this).
Trim the end of the sheeting flush with rib W2.
D 8. Trim the tip end of the sheeting flush with rib
W11. Trim the root end of the sheeting flush with the
centerline of the wing, rib W2 and the wing front plate.
D 11. Sheet the opposite wing panel using the same
procedure outlined above.
D 9. Cut the four pieces of 1/16" x 3" x 15" balsa
stock sheeting (F146W23) as shown in the sketch
above. Test fit one of the pieces in place in front of the
leading edge sheeting and trim and sand it as necessary
to make it fit. NOTE: The grain should run along the
LE. D 12. Cut two 1/16" x 3" x 24" balsa center sheets
(F146W15) and assemble two triangles as shown above.
Use one in the next step and save the other for the bottom
of the wing.
