Wing Panels
Pin a lower wing skin to your building board. (The
lower skins are the ones with the rib and aileron
hinge strip positions etched into them.)
NOTE: Ignore the wing main spar in the construction
photos.
Use the laser-cut dihedral gauge to set the root rib in
position. When satisfied with the fit, glue it to the
bottom skin.
Glue the rest of ribs to the bottom skin. Glue the
aileron hinge strips to the ribs and bottom skin, one
on either side of the laser-cut separation line. DON’T
glue the aileron hinge strips together.
NOTE: Use scrap 3/32” material to pack the leading
edge of the bottom skin up so that it is in contact
with the full length of each rib.
Fabricate aileron torque rods from 3/32" aluminum
tubing and 1/16" music wire.
Glue torque rod tubing to the bottom skin BUT NOT
to the aileron. Glue blocks on either side of the
aileron crank. Do not cut the aileron out at this time.
