10. Cut openings in the bottom sheeting for the

aileron servos.

11. Use two 1/16" x 3" x 30" balsa sheets to sheet the

top center section of the wing.

12. Using the 1/16" x 1/4" x 30" balsa sticks, cut, fit and glue

cap strips to all of the exposed ribs, both top and bottom.

13. Cut a 1" diameter hole out of the top center sheeting

for the aileron servo leads as shown on the plan. Hint: A
quarter makes a nice template.

14. Sand the TE sheeting flush with the TE.

15. Drill two 1/4" holes, at the punch marks, in the die-

cut 1/8" ply forward dowel support.

16. Trim the ends of the shaped LE so the forward dowel

support will fit flush against the inboard ends of the LE and
tight against the retract servo tray.

17. Position the 1/4" x 3-1/2" basswood wing dowels in

place lying against the retract servo tray, then epoxy the
forward dowel support in place. DO NOT GLUE the dowels
at this time.

18. Remove the dowels and drill 1/4" holes through the

1/16" balsa shear webs.

19. Round one end of each dowel. Epoxy the dowels in

place with the rounded end forward so that the dowel
protrudes as shown on the plan.
