- Page 5 Wing Lay the main spar (Part 1) on the board and glue a ¼ x ¼ x 36” (6 x 6 x 915mm) spar on the read bottom edge. Cut to length between the outer two rib slots. Once dry flip over so the slots face up. Using a straight edge pin to the board ensuring it is completely straight and vertical.
- Page 6 Glue the wing Bolt Plate (Part 9) in place. Take the ¼ x ½ x 36” (6 x 12.5 x 915mm) leading edge and drill a 6mm hole in the centre, glue to the ribs ensuring the hole is central and in line with the hole in the main spar to accept the wing dowel later.
- Page 7 Turn the wing over and repeat the sheeting process to the underside. The leading edge sheet will be a little narrower approximately 60mm. Check before cutting the sheet along its length. Glue two scraps of balsa or ply either side of the Wing Bolt Plate to provide additional support, and flush with the ribs. Carefully drill through the wing bolt hole and 1/16 sheeting.
- Page 8 Glue the tips (Parts 11) on to W5 at 90 from the centre of the LE, through the triangulated part of the main spar to the centre of the TE. Where the tip extends past the trailing edge a triangular fillet will be required to support the covering.
- Page 9 Controls Install the servo by either gluing it to the ply plate or using ¼ x ¼ (6 x 6mm) spruce bearers to suit your chosen servo. Use a scrap pieces of 1/8 (3mm) Ply to provide support. Whichever method you choose Ensure the servo is secure and unable to move and the horn is positioned centrally to the cut out.
- Page 10 F1 and Part 7 are formed with two parts glued together. F1 has a part with locating lugs, the part without lugs sits on the inside of the fuselage. Once dry insert captive nuts on the part without lugs (inside) using a little epoxy to hold in place.
- Page 11 Pull the fuselage sides together so that the lug on F5 locates on the other fuselage side. This should ensure that the sides are pulled in equally but check to ensure the rear of the fuselage is equal and along the centre line.

Page 13: Tail Plane And Fin
Tail plane and Fin Round off the leading edge of the tail plane and fin with sandpaper. The leading edge of the elevator should be chamfered to a 45 angle. Be careful to ensure the upper edge remains straight. The elevator is joined to the tail plane using tape or covering material.
