Form the two (2) Plywood Step Plates using hot water soaking and slowly form with fingers to match
to rib locations onto Rib WR1 and WR2 and once the shape is maintained dry then set aside to be
glued in place later. Add the twelve (12) Rib Tabs WR6 and WR6a (1) making sure that they are
spaced about 1/32" from the outer edge of the Trailing Edge as seen on the Building Pattern. Apply
Wood Conditioner to the entire wing to stabilize the laser cut char prior to painting. Allow the Wood
Conditioner to dry completely before painting with Deck House Light (MS4821).
Right Wing Difference: The only difference the right has is the addition of the Compass. Once the
right wing is assembled and sanded place on the building pattern mark the location of the Compass on
the edge of the Caps and glue in place the Compass Holder with the circle cut out to the underside of
the Caps between the Ribs. On the forward edge glue the vertical Brace. See the picture on the next
page. Then glue the two (2) Triangular Braces to the top surface and then glue them to the underside
of the Cap against the Rib wall aligning it with the front edge of the Compass Holder. Now apply
Wood Conditioner and paint Deck House Light (MS4821) per the left wing. Once the right wing is dry;
glue the Compass in place in the Compass Holder. The compass label and lense should be done
prior to gluing in place.
