Step 26 - Wing Assembly (outer top spar)
Cut a piece of the leftover 3/16"
x 3/8" basswood strips to use
as the upper spar. Measure, cut
and glue into position as shown.
Step 27 - Wing Assembly (wing tip)
Locate 2 of the TIP pieces from BP3
and one TIP2 from BP10. Glue one TIP
piece to the outer edge, then the TIP2
on top of it, followed by the other TIP -
a tip sandwich, if you will.
Step 28 - Wing Assembly (upper sheeting)
Locate TS4 from BP6. Glue this
to the leading edge, using the
same techniques as you did when
applying the leading edge to the
inner wing panel.
Now, locate a length of the laser-
cut 1" trailing edge strips that are
cut into several of the 1/16" sheets
(BP5, BP6, and BP7). Measure and
trim to length, then pin and glue into position.
Step 29 - Wing Assembly (cap strips)
Locate a length of laser-cut 1/4"
cap strips that are cut into several
of the 1/16" sheets.
Measure, cut and glue these into
position over ribs as shown here.
Note that the cap strips on top of
R3 & R6 should be positioned so
they is flush with outer edge of the
ribs, not overlapping them.
Step 30 - Wing Assembly (joining panels)
Remove the wing panels from the
board and sand the edges, where
the inner and outer panels will join.
Once flat, glue those together as
shown here.
Step 31 - Wing Assembly (R0)
Locate R0 from LP1. This is glued to
the R1 as shown here.
Step 32 - Wing Assembly (right wing construction)
Set the right (starboard) wing half aside and begin work on the left
(port) wing half. Tape the left wing plan and fresh wax paper on
your board. Then follow steps 1 through 31 to complete the right
wing half. Once finished, then move on to step 33 to complete the
wing assembly.

paper on your building board.
Step 34 - Tail assembly (horizontal stab)
Locate a 1/4" x 1/2"
and a 1/8" x 1/4" balsa
strip. These
are cut to make the
horizontal
frame as shown here.
Carefully
cut and fit the pieces,
gluing them in place as

Once the glue has set, remove the finished stab from the plans and
sand the leading edge to a round profile.
Step 35 - Tail
assembly
halves)
Locate a 1/4" x 1/2",
a 1/8" x 1/4" and a
1/4" square balsa strip.
These pieces are cut

and fit the pieces, gluing them in place as shown.
Step 36 - Tail assembly
(elevator joiner)
If you haven't already, trim
the 1/4" square leading edge
of the elevator to accept the
joiner. Locate the leftover
1/4" dowel. Measure and cut to form the elevator joiner. Glue in
position. Once the glue has set, remove the finished elevator from
the plans.
Step 37 - Prepare your work area
Now tape the vertical fin and rudder plan and a fresh piece of
waxed paper on your building board.
Step 38 - Tail
