14. D ADD ALL THE BOTTOM SHEETING TO THE
WING PANEL
Add the bottom leading edge sheeting, the trailing
edge sheeting and the center section sheeting. Relieve
(cut away) the leading edge sheeting for landing gear block
clearance. (Relieve the center section sheeting for tricycle
gear.) Add the bottom cap strips. After the glue dries,
remove the wing from your building board and turn it over.
15. D ADD THE WING TIPS, WING TIP FILLERS AND
SUPPORT PIECES
Cut off spars and sheeting even with the outboard
edge of the tip rib. DO NOT CUT THE LEADING EDGE! Add
the wing tip. It should be centered on the tip rib and on the
leading edge. For the 40 and 60 size models, prepare and
install the upper and lower forward and rear wing tip sup-
ports. Using the wing tip detail drawing as a guide, cut two
rectangles from the 1/4" scrap piece. Cut the rectangles
diagonally and you have two forward and two rear pieces.
Custom fit all four supports and glue them in place. Use
1/4" scrap and make and glue the aileron filler piece. Glue
it to the inboard side of the wing tip. Add filler pieces to the
rear end of the wing tip, top and bottom. Sand these blocks
to the aileron contour later after installing hinging and cen-
tering the ailerons.
* The 20 size kit includes the above parts in the 1/8" razor
cut sheets.
16. D BUILD THE LEFT WING PANEL NOW
Build the left panel in the same manner except
build it upside down. Gear cut outs are "up" and landing
gear blocks are installed before any sheeting is added. In-
stall the wing hold down plate and fillers in the 40 or 60
models (or the wing dowel plates in the 20 size) after you
turn the wing panel over and before the top leading edge
sheeting is installed.
17. D SAND THE LEADING EDGES OF THE WING
PANELS TO THE ROUNDED SHAPE SHOWN ON
THE PLANS
18. D FINISH SAND THE WING PANELS
Sand the leading edge to match the wing tip con-
tour. Remove the trailing edge building shim and cut and
sand the wing parts flush with the root rib (inner rib). Finish
sand the rest of the wing panel.
