Step 16
Locate the two p
stock / balsa wing tips, with
angle on one end, and place the square end
between the TE cap strips with the 38
degree angle cupped into the rear side of
the leading edge on the outside of rib #3.
Glue in place first with thin CA and then add
thick CA where the balsa meets the
backside of the L.E. Repeat this step for
both sides. NOTE: Do not glue the 1/16 x
½ "cap strips on the trailing edge
assembly yet!
Step 17
Locate the Kevlar thread in the parts bag.
Following the illustrations on the print, first
wrap the #2 and # 3 ribs where they
intersect the L.E. Make sure you reference
the print first before starting, to ensure that
you will be installing the Kevlar at the proper
angles.

the 38 degree
Place a drop of thin CA on the spar tube and
lay the tip of the Kevlar thread in the glue
drop and allow it to dry. This will hold the
Kevlar in place while you wrap the thread
around the ribs and L.E. and spar.
Next, wrap 5 to 6 turns around the rib, L.E.
and spar, while holding the Kevlar thread
tight.
Once wrapped, soak the entire Kevlar thread
with thin CA. Repeat this step for all four
points where the ribs and L.E. intersect, as
shown on the print. NOTE: You can now
cut the four rubber bands that hold the
leading edge tubes.
