Final Assembly
The wing struts are laser cut from 1/16”
plywood and are faced on both sides
with 1/32” balsa. Bend 1/16” music
wire as shown on the plans. Notch the
bottom spars between the R9’s to clear
the Z-bend. Glue the strut mounts in
place.
Insert the wings into the fuselage.
Temporarily insert the music wire ends
into the struts and install to the wing and
fuselage. The outboard ends of the struts
can be trimmed as necessary. Rough up
the music wire bits and apply slow cure
epoxy to them. Reassemble the struts
making sure the wing is not twisted.
Use balsa or filler to make the fillet
around the landing gear and wing struts.
The wing is held in place by a pin or
screw inserted through the spar box and
spars.
The wheel pants are laminated from 1/8”
balsa. The bottom edge of each piece
should align around the wheel opening.
Sand to shape and install mounting
hardware of your choice.
Glue the tail feathers in place.
