Page 11: Wings Assembly
WINGS ASSEMBLY We recommend the use of Epoxy Resin adhesive for the wing construction. All ribs are at 90 degrees to the work surface. Follow the drawing for spacing and angles! Sequence is shown below: Step 1 Laminate Root Ribs F1 & F1a together. Lay down a 5x10x850mm pine lower spar and start assembling the ribs and the spar shear webs from the Root Rib end. - Page 12 Step 3 Continue steps 1 & 2 to complete the wing structure. Follow the photos sequence. Parts F3 to F11 are from 4mm balsa wood. Parts L-3 to L-10 are from 3mm balsa wood. Step 2 Ensure that the wing tubes are at 90° to the Root Rib.
- Page 14 Step 4 Step 5 Install the upper and lower 5x10x600mm pine spars. Install 5x10x850mm pine strip to the trailing edge of the wing.
- Page 15 Step 6 Install 5x5x850mm pine strip to the leading edge of the wing. Step 7 For better contact of the two wing tip skins glue balsa strip 5 x 3mm on each wing skin. Apply Epoxy Resin adhesive to all contact surfaces with wing top skin.
- Page 16 Step 10 Ensure that all of the wing structures to be glued to the composite skins have adequate glue on them. Carefully position the wing structure into the top wing skin first then position the lower one. Tape closed any openings around the edges and weight down the wing so as to achieve good gap-free joints inside and around the edges.
- Page 18 Before installing any of the composite details the surface should be roughened up with 80 grit abrasive paper. Quick set Epoxy or Cyanoacrylate glue. ASSEMBLING AILERONS, FLAPS AND RUDDER We recommend Robart hinges. Aileron hinge installation: Mark the position of the hinges making sure they line up with the blocks glued into the wing previously. Cut a 20mm wide gap into the ailerons leading edge.
