23. Locate and remove the W27 part from the 1/8" balsa sheet. Install it as shown in the first image. Do NOT glue it yet. Locate and
remove the W28 part from the 1/8" balsa sheet. Install it as shown in the second image. Make sure the parts are flush with the rib
where they meet it and secure all parts with thin CA.
24. Repeat steps 22 and 23 for the other half of the wing.
25. Locate and remove the wing sheeting parts on the 1/32" balsa sheet. Start with the outer pieces. Dry fit the part as shown in the
image below. Line up the front of the sheet along the leading edge so the angled section at the W14/W15 joint is aligned. The
sheeting should overlap the W3 ribs about half way. There will be a bit overhanging the outer retract rib, this is okay. Apply a drop
of thick CA to the front of the ribs and apply the front of the sheeting as shown below. Then use thin CA to glue the entire front
part of the sheeting to the leading edge.
26. Press the sheeting down onto the ribs and line up the back edge of the sheeting with the spar cap. You may need to sand the back
edge just slightly for a good fit. Turn the wing over so you are looking at it from the top. While pressing the sheeting against the
ribs, apply thin CA to the joints, one rib at a time to secure the sheeting to the ribs and the spar cap.
27. Repeat steps 25 and 26 for the other side of the wing.
28. Line up the center 1/32" sheeting as shown in the image below. You may need to lightly sand the outside edges so it fits in between
the outer sheeting at the rear spar cap. Once you have a good fit, apply some thick CA to the front edge of the spar cap and rear part
of the center rib, make sure the sheet is pressed up against the rear spar cap and lay the sheeting down like in the image below.
