SECTION 6: WING ASSEMBLY
STEP 1: ALIGNING THE WING PANELS
❑
Using a modeling knife, cut away and remove the excess
covering material that overlaps onto the root ribs of each wing
panel, leaving about 1/16" overlapped so it does not pull away.

It's very important to the integrity of the
wing center-section joint that you remove as much covering
material from the root ribs as possible. Do not omit this
procedure or the wing center-section joint may fail during flight.
❑
Use a ruler and a pencil to locate and draw a vertical
centerline on each side of the plywood wing joiner.
❑
Test-fit the plywood wing joiner into the wing joiner box in
each wing panel. It should slide easily into each wing panel up
to the centerline you drew.
☞
If the wing joiner does not fit properly, use 220 grit
sandpaper with a sanding block to lightly sand the edges and
tips of the wing joiner, until you are satisfied with the fit.

The plywood wing joiner is cut in the
shape of a shallow "V." Make sure that this "V" shape is
toward the
top
of the wing panels.
❑
Remove the aileron and three hinges from each of the two wing panels and set them aside for now.
