the elevator joiner to match the leading edge of the

elevator.
Start by building the left wing panel first so your progress
matches the photos.
❏
1. Cover the left wing panel plan with Great Planes Plan
Protector.
❏ ❏
2. Match the 1/8" x 1/4" x 24" [3.2 x 6.4 x 610mm] balsa
main spars so any warps will counteract each other.
❏ ❏
3. Pin one of the main spars in position over the plan,
aligning one end of the main spar with the outside edge of
the root rib W-1.
❏ ❏
4. Pin one of the 1/32" x 3/4" x 24" [.8 x 19 x 610mm]
balsa trailing edge sheets in position over the plan,
aligning one end of the trailing edge sheet with the outside
edge of the root rib W-1.
❏ ❏
5. Starting at the wing tip, glue the seven laser-cut
1/16" [1.6mm] balsa W-1 and one W-1A ribs over the main
spar and trailing edge sheet, perpendicular to the building
board. IMPORTANT: Do not install the W-1A root rib until
the next step.
❏ ❏
6. Position the W-1A root rib in place over the main
spar. Use the laser-cut 1/8" [3.2mm] ply dihedral gauge to
set the rib at the proper angle before gluing it to the main
spar and the trailing edge sheet.
❏ ❏
7. Position the top 1/8" x 1/4" x 24" [3.2 x 6.4 x 610mm]
balsa main spar in the rib notches with one end flush with
the outside edge of the root rib and glue to all the ribs.
