D D 18. Find the two tapered balsa pieces that are 9-1/8"

long. These are the wing tips. Glue one of these
tapered balsa wing tips to the tip rib (the narrow
edge
of the tapered wing tip goes down).

D 22. On rib W-l, draw lines 1/8" in front and back of

the spars.

D D 19. Carve and sand the wing tip to blend with the

tip rib. Sand the front and rear corners to a rounded
shape as shown on the plan. Also sand the top and
bottom edges to a slightly rounded shape.

D 23. Working very carefully and slowly with a razor

saw, cut out 1/8" strips in W-l in front and back of
the spars. Do this in both wing panels to provide
openings for the dihedral braces. Note: It is OK if

the part of W-l between the spars is broken out.

D D 20. Using a razor saw, carefully cut off the leading

edge, spars and trailing edge flush with rib W-l.

Then sand smooth and flat using a T-bar.

D 21. Turn the plan around so the Left Wing Panel

drawing is facing you, and repeat steps 4 through
20 to build the left wing panel
in the same manner.

D 24. Check the spars in the area you just cut out. If

any wood or glue remains attached to the spars, sand
it off with your T- bar.
