Step 3
Lay the assembled spar on the print to see
how far the tubes should fit into one another.
Adjust both sides so the center main spar is
centered on the print and the end tubes
extend to the correct length shown on the
print (be as precise as possible when
matching the print through all the steps).
When the rear spar matches the print (tube
engagement and overall length), apply a drop
of thin C.A. on each joint.
Step 4
Find the ¼" x 3/8" x 36" balsa stick trailing
edge (T.E) and cut it the same length as
shown on the plan.
Find one of the ¼" x ¼" x 36" triangle stock,
and also cut it to match the trailing edge you
just cut. Center the triangle stock on the ¼"
side of the ¼" x 3/8" T.E. Glue the triangle
stock to the ¼" side with thick CA.
Next, find two 1/16" x ½" cap strips that seem
to be the stiffest from the wood supplied with
the kit. Cut them to match the length shown
on the plans.
NOTE: Do not glue the T.E. cap strips
beyond the #2 ribs until the wing tips are
installed in step #16.
Examine the drawing below to ensure proper
assembly of the T.E assembly.
When you are done assembling the T.E.,
set it aside until step 10.
