Stringers (ribs) for the these surfaces need to be hand cut to length. Approximate lengths are shown on the drawing. 6.20 4.66 6.94 7.99 7.85 7.36 6.44 Suggested locations for CA hinges. When using CA hinges keep these areas free of glue when laminating left and right sides to make cutting of hinge slots easier.
