.
13.
a. Cut a 1/4"x1/2"x12" balsa rear spar from one of the 36" lengths provided and glue it to the top of the center section
ribs.
b. Glue a 1/4"x1/2"x36" balsa rear spar in position on top of the outer panel wing ribs. This spar should butt up against
the center section rear spar at the wing joint, but should not be glued to it.
c. Repeat parts a. and b. of this step for the bottom rear spar. You will have to slide the spars under the ribs, then lift
them into position.
14.
a. Cut a twelve-inch length of 3/32"x1-1/2" balsa from one of the 30" lengths provided (not one of the 36" pieces!) to
serve as the center section trailing edge sheeting. Glue it in place on top of the center section wing ribs. Careful!
Make sure that the back edge of the sheet is in the right place, directly above the trailing edge on the drawing.
b. Glue the 3/32"x1-1/2"x36" balsa trailing edge in place on the outer panel, again being careful to check for the correct
overhang.
Wing Joiner Assemblies
15.
a. Trial fit an IW-l inner web subassembly (from Step 6.) in its position
between the spars and trim as necessary, but do not glue it in place. Also,
trial fit a die-cut 1/16" plywood JW-l joiner web and, again, trim as
necessary.
b. Epoxy the IW-l subassembly to the JW-l joiner web as shown in the
diagram. Wipe away any excess epoxy before it dries.
c. Trial fit the die-cut 5/32" plywood IW-2 and JW-2 webs as you did before.
Epoxy the pieces together as shown in the diagram. Notice that only the
JW-2 joiner web closest to the wing joint has an IW-2 inner web glued to it.
The outboard JW-2 web should also be fitted in position, but not glued.
16.
a. Insert one end of a front wing joiner spar into a front wing joiner channel so
that it is flush with one end of the channel. Tighten the socket-head set
screws snugly against the joiner spar.
IMPORTANT: To avoid any misalignment later on, it is important that the
set screws be tight while installing the aluminum wing joiner assembly.
b. When dry, place the joiner webs in their position in the wing to check that
they still fit, but don't glue.
c. Position the wing joiner assembly on the joiner webs and clamp it in place.
The assembly should be centered between and parallel to the spars. When
satisfied that it is positioned correctly, mark JW-l and JW-2 at the drill
holes. Remove the clamps, wing joiner assembly, and joiner webs from the
wing.
BUILDER'S TIP
: Scrap pieces of plywood placed against the
back side of the spars provide a convenient
surface for the clamps used in this step.
