Top Flite TOPA0155 - Manual (Page 44)

❏
3. Use a ballpoint pen to label the die-cut 1/16"
[1.6mm] balsa fillet braces (1 through 6) as on the
die pages and as in the photo. Note that fillet braces
3 and 6 appear to be identical, but fillet 6 is slightly
smaller than fillet 3.
❏
4. Test fit and glue the fillet braces to the fuse and
the wing fillet base. The fillets will be correctly
spaced when they fit the fuse and the fillet base well,
and when the outer tips of the fillet bases are
approximately 1/8" [3.2mm] from the edge of the
wing fillet.
❏
5. If you haven’t already done so, remove the wing
and cover the top of the center section with waxed
paper. Bolt the wing back to the fuse.
❏
6. Wet the die-cut 1/16" [1.6mm] balsa wing fillet
sheet (WF) with water or window cleaner. Carefully
bend the sheet as the water works in.
❏
7. Test fit the wing fillet sheet to the fuse and the
wing fillet base. Trim the sheet as necessary for a
good fit. By the time the sheet has been trimmed to
fit, it should be dry enough to glue into position. Glue
the wing fillet sheet into position.
❏
8. Fill most of the space in front of the fillet sheet
between the fuse and the fillet base with leftover
balsa. Use lightweight balsa filler to complete the job
blending the fillet base, the fillet sheet and the
fuse together.
