40. Turn the wing upside-down. Using the slot in the

landing gear rail as a guide, cut the opening for the gear to
fit. Chamfer the torque block opening to allow the radius in
the landing gear leg to fit properly in the rail.

41. Mount the gear leg with two plastic straps and

four #2 x 3/8" sheet metal screws, as shown on the plan.

42. Go back to step one and build the left wing half over

the left wing plan.

1. Using medium CA, laminate the three die-cut 1/8" ply

center spar joiners. This complete assembly is now called
the wing joiner.

2. Glue the die-cut 1/8" ply center jig and tip jigs

together as shown.

3. Temporarily fit the wing joiner into one wing half. From

the remaining piece of 1/16" x 3" balsa used to make the
shear webs, make a LE shear web that goes to the inboard
end of the spars. Glue the web to the spars. Do the same
for the other wing half. Note: Do not glue the joiner in yet.

4. Fit the wing panels to the wing joiner and the die-cut

1/8" ply retract servo tray. Note: The retract servo tray will be
installed whether you are using retracts or fixed landing gear.
