you don't introduce a warp in the
wing.
3. Once the top is covered, cover
the bottom in the same way,
preferably with a contrasting color
of tape. Once again working your
way from trailing edge to the
leading edge. You can take the
warp out that you may have
introduced with the top covering by
stretching the bottom tape before
applying.
4. Now use a strip of the bottom
covering and overlap the top
covering at the leading edge.
5. Find the elevons in your kit.
The elevons are precut, but you
have to sand in the bevel on the
bottom of the elevon. Also sand
an angle at the front of the elevon
for clearance.
6. Lightly spray the elevon with 77 spray and let dry (if you are using iron on covering, don't
spray). Cover the elevon with the colored tape you used for the bottom of the wing.
7. Now attach the elevons to the
top of the wing using 3M 600 3/4"
tape. Bend the elevons to their
maximum deflection before taping
to the wing. Also put a couple of
small strips of tape (2") on the
bottom of the elevon making sure
to deflect the elevon before taping
to the wing.
8. Use the included templet to cut out the tiplets from the coroplast included in your kit. Use
an xacto to make a small hole in the side of one tiplet and run your antenna through the hole
and into the flutes. Pull the excess antenna through the tiplet. Attach the tiplets to the wing
