Great Planes Tracer 46 Kit - GPMA0400 - Manual (Page 22)

❏
20. From one piece of 30" tapered balsa aileron stock,
cut a 4" and a 2" length. Cut 4" and 2" lengths from the
other 30" aileron stock.
❏
21. Glue the two 4" pieces to the inboard TE of each
wing panel, with the inboard ends aligned at the centerline
of the wing.
❏
22. Glue the 2" pieces to each wing tip, aligning them
with the outboard edge.
❏
23. Cap both wing tips with leftover 1/16" balsa sheet.
Sand to the shape of the wing.
❏
24. Sand the LE so the top and bottom are flush with the
LE sheeting. Note: Be careful not to sand into the sheeting.
❏
1. Trim both pieces of the aileron stock so they have
1/16" clearance on both ends when positioned in place.
❏
2. Mark the hinge locations on the ailerons and wing and
cut the hinge slots the same as was done on the tail.
❏
3. Bevel the LE of the ailerons to a “V” shape as shown
on the wing cross-section.
❏
1. Place one die-cut 1/8" ply former F1 on the work
surface with the front (punch marked) side facing up. Epoxy
the second F-1 to the first with 6-minute epoxy, again with
the punch marked side facing up. Make sure the edges all
the way around are aligned. Wipe away any excess epoxy
before it cures. Note: If the firewall formers are warped,
simply clamping them together may not “cancel out” the
warps. It is best to clamp the formers to a table or a flat
board until the epoxy cures.
❏
2. Glue the die-cut 1/8" ply F1B to the back of the F1
formers with medium CA. From now on this assembly will
be referred to as the firewall.
