Glue the 1/16” sub-leading edge to the front of the
ribs.
Sand the wing panel structure so that the aileron
hinge strips and crank blocks match the wing rib
contour. Sand the top of the trailing edge so that it
tapers to about 1/32” width. This provides a gluing
surface at the trailing edge for the top skin.
Pin a wing panel to the building board, using the
laser-cut washout jigs to establish 1/8” wingtip
washout.
Glue the 1/16" top skin to the wing panel structure.
Let the glue cure thoroughly before unpinning the
wing panel from the building board.
NOTE – The laser-cut 1/8” leading edge strip is not
wide enough to cover the entire leading edge. To
remedy this, simply cut a 1/8” inch wide strip from
the excess 1/8” sheet and edge-glue it to the laser-
cut leading edge.
Glue the 1/8” laser-cut leading edge to the wing
panel.
Glue the laser-cut wingtip to the tip rib. NOTE –
laminate a scrap of 1/16” sheet to the top of the
wingtip block.
Shape the leading edge and wingtip of each wing
panel to the shapes shown on the plans.
Prepare to join the wing panels by pinning one wing
panel, with its washout jigs, to your building board.
Jig the other wing panel so that its center rib
matches the center rib on the pinned-down panel,
and raise its wingtip 2” above the building board.
