4. Position the 6-1/4" long sheet flush with the
outboard edge of R-3 (next to, but not touching the aileron
end cap), and pressed against the trailing edge of the TE
sheeting. Lift it off the ribs, lay glue on the ribs and the face
of the TE sheeting. Reposition the sheet and hold in place
while the CA cures. Lay a straightedge on the aileron flush
with the trailing edge of the aileron as shown in the photo.
Carefully trim this sheet along the straightedge.
❏ ❏
5. From 1/16" x 1/4" x 24" balsa sticks, cut and glue
caps strips to the exposed ribs between the LE sheeting
and TE sheeting only. Hint: For easier positioning of the
cap strips, first mark the location of each rib on the LE and
TE sheeting.
❏ ❏
6. Remove the remaining pins and lift the wing from
the building board. Trim everything flush with R-11. Trim the
LE sheeting flush with the front of the LE web.
❏ ❏
7. Trim all of the sheeting flush with R-1. Use a bar
sander to sand the spars flush with R-1. Note: Be careful
not to gouge R-1 and to keep the spar ends square to R-1.
❏ ❏
8. Set the wing right-side up on the building board.
From a piece of leftover sheeting, make a sheeting
support for the inboard side of the aileron servo tray as
shown. Carefully sand the airfoil shape onto the bottom of
the support. Glue with thin CA. Make and glue a second
sheeting support for the trailing edge of the aileron servo
tray. Note: Be careful not to change the shape of the
sheeting when installing these supports.
❏ ❏
9. Use a hobby knife to cut the opening for the servo
in the sheeting, using the servo tray as a guide. Hint: While
the wing is right-side up, use a hobby knife to cut just the
corners of the servo opening. Turn the wing upside-down
again, and use a straightedge to cut straight lines between
the four corners you marked. Remove the piece of
sheeting.
❏ ❏
10. With the wing upside-down, fit the aileron servo in
place and trim the sheeting around the rubber grommets on
the servo. Note: Provide approximately 1/16" of clearance
between the servo and the sheeting.
