Add a piece of scrap 1/16" balsa to each side to make it 1-
1/8" tall. Bevel on one end to match the angle of the leading
edge piece on the right wing half. Center the piece to ribs
W1-W3 and glue in place.
Cut a 7-3/4" piece of 3/8" x 1" balsa stock. Bevel the end to
match the previous piece. Align and glue to W3 thru W8.
Bevel the remaining 3/8" x 1" balsa piece to match the previ-
ous one. Align and glue to W8 thru W18.
Add reinforcements for hinges along the flap and aileron
area.
Sand W22 to match the camber of ribs W12 thru W18.
Lightly sand the ribs to get rid of any high spots and prepare
for sheeting.
Attach servo extensions and guide wires through the holes in
W12 thru W1. Make sure to secure your servo extensions
with glue, tape or shrink tubing.
Note: You will need to route the retract, flap and aileron
wires close to the leading edge of the wing so they come
out of the wing about 1" back from where the leading
edge meets the fuselage. This will keep the wires from
getting tangled with the elevator and rudder servo.
