48. Test the fit of the die-cut 1 /8" plywood R-

1 B's (1 B) against the R-1 A's. Trim the Ft-1 B's
if necessary for a good fit. The dowel may also
need to be flattened slightly with a sanding block

to allow the R-1 B's a good fit.

49. Glue in the R-1 B's with 15-minute epoxy.

50. For rubber band on wings, glue the die-cut

1/8" plywood R-1 B's to the R-1 A's, forward center

edge. The root cross-section gives a view of the

cut-out. Cut a notch in the trailing edge center
pieces to allow the torque rod to exit.

55. Hold the trailing edge center pieces up

to the wing. Transfer the notch locations onto
