24. Using 1/4" x 1/2" balsa left over from the tail, build
a "covering pocket" around the servo.
❏ ❏
25. Locate a 3/8" x 7/8" x 25-5/8" balsa LE stick left over
from the center section assembly. Glue this stick to the sub
leading edge, flush with the bottom edge and root end. With
reference to the plan, shape the LE using a razor plane,
hobby knife and sanding bar to blend it with the airfoil.
❏ ❏
26. From 3/32" x 3" x 36" balsa sheet, measure, cut and
glue vertical grain shear webs to fit the two locations shown
on the plan.
❏ ❏
27. Glue leftover 1/4" x 1/4" balsa to both sides of the
1/8" die-cut ply wing tip supports (TS).
❏ ❏
28. Mark a line 1/16" away from each side of the main
spars on the root rib. Carefully cut the root rib to allow the
wing joiners to pass through. Without gluing, test fit the
outer and center sections together. Make any adjustments
as necessary for a good fit. We will join them after the other
panel is built.
❏
29. Now is the time to clean up your mess and build the
other wing panel just like the first one, only over the other
wing panel plan.
❏
1. Double check that both wing panels fit with the center
section properly and that the mating ribs fit well without any
undue gaps between them. Sand as needed for a good fit.
❏ 2. Mix about ½ ounce of 30-minute epoxy. Working over
wax paper or Plan Protector, coat the inside surfaces of the
1/16" die-cut ply wing joiners (WJ), one wing panel and the
mating surfaces of the root ribs with epoxy. Slide the panels
together and raise the tip with the wing tip support. Clamp
