5. Glue a scrap piece of 1/16" x 1/2" x 2" balsa to the
bottom edge of the leading edge sheet at the root end to
reinforce the joint between the leading edge sheets. Sheet
the other top leading edge by repeating steps 3 and 4.

❍
6. Cut and install cap strips for the top of each R2 and R3
rib from 1/16" x 5/16" x 30" balsa sticks. Use the 1/16" x 1/2" x
24" balsa left over from the leading edge sheeting to make
the R1 capstrips. Refer to the photo and plans for the correct
position of the root and tip cap strips.

7. Use the leftover 1/16" x 3" x 6" leading edge sheeting
to cut and install shear webs on the aft edge of the spars as
shown on the plans.

8. Remove the wing from your work surface. Pin it back
to your building board, upside-down, making sure that it’s
straight without any twists.
❍
9. Repeat steps 3 - 8 to sheet the bottom of the wing.
❍
10. Use leftover cap strip balsa to frame the servo openings
on the bottom of the wing as detailed on the plans.
❍
11. Use a razor plane or carving blade and coarse sandpaper
to shape the leading edge. Cut the template from the plan,
glue it to scrap cardboard, and then use it to test the accuracy
of your work as you proceed.
❍
12. Cut two 4-1/4" x 11" strips from an 8-1/2" x 11" sheet of
paper. Roll the strips lengthwise into tubes, then insert them
through the holes in the wing ribs between the servo bay and
W1. Apply a couple of drops of medium CA to secure them
in position. These tubes make it easy to
fish
your servo wires
into the fuse.
