gear base and rail, making sure the gear does not shift.
❏

❏
20. Cut the 3/16" x 1-3/4" x 10" balsa stick in half,
making two 5" wing root spacers. Use a playing card or
business card to shim between the spacers and the fuse.
Use medium or thick CA to glue the balsa wing root
spacers to the wing.
Note: It may be necessary to sand the spacers slightly
thinner, or to apply filler to result in a 1/32" gap between the
spacers and the fuse.
