WING ASSEMBLY:
1.
Locate and remove the 3/32" spars, W1 and W2 from the sheet. Assemble them as shown in the image below and secure with CA.
2.
Find and remove the W3 ribs (2) from the 3/32" sheet. Slide them onto the spars as shown in the image below, but do NOT glue
them yet. Find and remove the W3R parts (2) from the 1/32" plywood sheet. Press the tabs on the back of the half ribs into the slots
in the spars. Be gentle with the parts to make sure you don't slip and break anything else while doing this. Apply thick CA to the
"inside" of the 1/32" ply parts and glue them to the W3 ribs, making sure they are matched up and the tabs are fully pressed into the
spar.
3.
Find the W5 ribs on the 3/32" sheet. BE CAREFUL with these ribs. The front end where the retract mounts go through is very thin.
CAREFULLY remove them from the sheet and set them on your work surface. Place some thin CA on the rib in that thin section
and let it wick into the balsa. This will help strengthen it for assembly. Allow it to dry thoroughly before removing it from the work
surface and be gentle with it when you do. Slide the ribs onto the spar as shown below.
