Great Planes Super Skybolt 60 Kit - GPMA0170 - Manual (Page 56)

FINISH AND ATTACH THE WING
D 1. Make a mark on the LE and TE sheeting
where each of the ribs are. This will make it easier
to install the cap strips. Cut the cap strips from the
1/16" x 3/8" x 30" balsa sticks (SKY6W24), and
glue them in place on the top and bottom of each
rib. When installing the cap strips on the B5
ribs, be careful to avoid getting glue in the I-
strut slots.
D 4. Sand the wing saddle smooth, and test fit the
bottom wing in place. You may have to sand the
wing saddle or the wing TE slightly to get a good fit
between the two. It is very important that the wing
sits nicely in the saddle. Do not sand the saddle so
much that it changes the incidence of the wing.
D 5. Position the wing on the fuse, and check to
see if it's level with the stab. If it's not, adjust the
wing saddle until it is. Also make sure it is straight
in relation to the fuse. Use a string attached to the
middle of the fin TE to measure to the wing tips as
you did earlier for the top wing.
D 2. Cut through the cap strips on the top of rib B5
to expose the rest of the l-strut slot. Harden the
area around the slot with thin CA or lightweight
fiberglass cloth.
D 3. Flip the wing over, and glue the die-cut 1/16"
ply rear wing bolt plate (SKY6W07) to the bottom
of the wing with the punch mark showing.
D 6. When the wing is correctly aligned, securely
hold or tape it in place. Drill a 1/4" hole 1-3/8" back
from the front of the LE, down through the wing
and through the wing bolt block in the fuse.
Without moving the wing, drill another 1/4" hole
at the punch mark on the rear wing bolt plate.
When drilling these holes, keep the drill
perpendicular to the wing bolt plates.
