10. Locate and remove the W13 pieces from the 1/16" balsa sheet. Press the W13 pieces into place in the rib slots as shown below. Be
careful around the W5 area not to break the front piece of the rib off. This would be the time to re-install the broken piece if you
had problems with it earlier on the W5 front piece. The ends tab into the W3 and W9 ribs. Do NOT glue anything yet. Repeat for
the other side of the wing.
11. Locate and remove the W14 and W15 pieces from the 1/16" balsa sheet. Press them onto the leading edge as shown in the image
below. Make sure they are pressed fully against the W13 piece. The text on these parts will be facing outward and up. Do NOT
glue anything yet.
12. Locate and remove the "BOT" and "TOP" spar caps from the 1/16" balsa sheet. "BOT" means bottom, and "TOP" of course,
means top. Start with the bottom spar caps and press them on the notches in the ribs, making sure they are pushed up against the
spar. There are 2 different sides, so make sure you have them oriented, text facing outward on the correct side. You will have to
"crack" the spar caps on the bottom so they sit flush where they meet the center ribs. Turn the wing over and install the "TOP" spar
caps.
