6. ADD THE SHEETING AND CAP STRIPS
Cut the sheeting to fit first then glue in place. Glue
on the 1/16 x 2-1/8 x 24 leading edge sheeting, the 1/16 x 7/8
x 24 trailing edge sheeting and the 1/16 x 3 x 15 center section
sheeting. Do not glue the sheeting to the cabane holders as
you will cut away this sheeting later. Cut cap strips from 1/16 x
3/16 x 36 balsa and glue them in place over the rib edges.
7 . ADD 1/4 TRI STOCK BRACES
After the glue is dry, turn the wing over and pin it
down to the building board. Use 1/4 x 36 triangle stock and cut
pieces to fit along the length of the cabane holders as shown
on the plan. Glue this 1/4 tri to the sheeting and to the cabane
holder. Also cut tri stock to fit on either side of the three center
.
ribs on top of the cabane holders. Glue these braces in place.
