BUILD THE WING
AILERONS
❍ 1. Working over the plans covered with waxed paper, build
the ailerons frames from 1/4" x 1/2" balsa.
❍ 2. Add the 1/4" x 1/2" internal bracing. Carefully cut and
install the aileron control horn brace using the 1/4" x 1" balsa.
❍ 3. Draw a centerline on the leading edge of both ailerons.
Sand the leading edge of the ailerons to a “V” shape as shown
on the plans.
❍ 4. Don’t round off the trailing edge of the ailerons. Just
knock off the corners.
WING PANELS
❍ 1. Trim the length of the four 1/4" x 1/4" x 30" basswood
wing spars to 24". Save the remaining 6" pieces for later use.
❍ ❍ 2. Cover the wing plans with waxed paper. Use cross-
pinning (see illustration) to hold a wing spar in position
where shown on plans. The spar should be even with the
wing’s centerline and tip.
❍ ❍ 3. Cut the four 1/16" x 1-1/8" x 30" balsa trailing edge
sheets down to 24". Pin one sheet over the plans flush with
the trailing edge of the wing. NOTE: These sheets extend past
the rear end of the ribs by 1/4".
❍ ❍ 4. Position the die-cut R1 (see note) through R3 wing ribs
on the spar at the locations shown. Be sure the flat portion of
