5.1
The wing is put together directly on the lower panelling. The carved grooves display the exact position
of the ribs.
5.2
The four main panels TF-01 are stuck together from a rear and a front part. The rear part has a long
groove, on which the rib panelling will subsequently be stuck. For the part numbers that have an "o" or
"u" at the end, use the ones with "u" for the lower panelling. These have extra cut-outs to insert the
ribs.
5.3
Insert two of the panellings TF-01 and TF-01u, one left and one right, onto the building board. Also
position the trailing edge panellings TF-02u and TF-03u. Now glue on the root panelling TF-04 and rib
panels TF-05 to TF-15u between the main panelling and trailing edge panelling.
5.4
The spars TF-16 are now glued onto the main panelling exactly (!) on the front edge of the groove with
the rib panelling attached. To check the fit, you can attach the individual ribs when dry.
5.5
The ribs TF-18 to TF-29 and shear webbing TF-30 to TF-41 are now stuck on alternately. This deter-
mines their positions and the distances between them. However, the ribs are only glued directly onto
the main spar and the rib panelling and trailing edge panelling. The servo board TF-47 is also glued
on. Before the main spar, the ribs are not yet stuck together. This section of the construction ends
when the upper main spar TF-16 is stuck on.
5.6
Also glue the nose board TF-43 and trailing edge TF-42 onto the ribs. The trailing edge is then con-
nected to the rib on the aileron base using the corner reinforcement TF-44.
5.7
Once the entire rib has hardened, it can be removed from the building board. Now the trailing edge is
bevelled in alignment with the upper side of the rib to be able to accommodate the upper panelling
later.
5.8
Now glue the panelling onto the lower section of the wing on the ribs and the nose board freehand. To
do so, attach the panelling rib by rib and apply low-viscosity superglue. The panelling must be stuck on
over the entire length of the ribs and the nose board.
5.9
The doublers TF-45 and TF-46 are glued behind the root ribs, as done with the middle section of the
wing.
5.10 Roughen the connecting tube TF-51 and glue it into the wing using two-component adhesive. Make
sure that they are glued carefully and without any gaps.
5.11 The upper panelling is once again put together as with the lower panelling – it should lie flat on the
board. The only difference is that no main spar will be attached, as that is already in the wing. For the
part numbers that have an "o" or "u" at the end, use those with "o" for the upper panelling.
5.12 Now place the wing flat on the building board. Then apply slow-drying white glue to all upper surfaces
of the ribs, spars and the leading edge and trailing edge. Then attach the panelling in one working
step, align it again and place weight on it. On the leading edge, you can pull down the panelling with
adhesive tape and/or pins. In any case, leave the glue to dry overnight.
5.13 Now the nose board is ground flat with the panelling.
5.14 The leading edge TF-52 is stuck on the entire length and is planed and ground to profile shape. Take
the time to check the gradient on a regular basis. The Klemm will thank you with its excellent flight
characteristics.
5.15 The wing tip consists of four layers TF-50 (total thickness: 20 mm). These are stuck together over the
entire surface, ground flat on the glueing edge down to the final rib and then stuck on. Once again,
make sure you use white glue, as superglue becomes too brittle and would subsequently break.
5.16 Now saw off the wing tip directly behind the trailing edge of the aileron shaft, glue the cut-off piece
onto the aileron and sand it accordingly.
5.17 Sand the wing tip across the entire wing.
5.18 The last step on the outer sections of the wing is the surface grinding of the root rib, sticking on of the
cover ribs TF-48 and glueing on of the magnets TF-54. Now glue the torsion pin TF-55 on and sand it
so that it is round at the front.
