Wing outer panels (Fig. 32–36)
- The wing outer panels are to be constructed in the same manner as the wing centre section; the main difference is that the inner part and the outer winglet are built as one part on a flat surface. Once the structure is finished, you will cut it between the end/root ribs; then bevel to obtain the correct dihedral and glue together.
- Glue together both two wing outer panels over the building plan protected with a sheet of thin clear plastic film (remember – you are building left and right wing panels!). Please note the inner spars are made of spruce sticks P33 resp. P23, whilst the winglet spars are made of balsa sticks (P34 and P31).
- Glue the top D-box sheeting P27 and P28 in the same manner as the wing centre sheeting W24.
- Sand the wing tip flat, glue the P17 winglet fairing in place and bevel it to the required 35° angle. Insert the P29 plywood joiner and sand the P18 wing tip to fit. Once satisfied glue the joiner and wing tip in place.
- Sand to fit and glue the 2.5 mm balsa gussets P33 and the P34 diagonal braces made of 5×3 mm spruce stick in place.
- Cut off the outer winglets between the end ribs P10 and P11; bevel the P11 ribs using the supplied 7° dihedral jig. Epoxy the wing panels and winglets together.
- Bevel the P2 root ribs of the wing outer panels using the supplied 7° dihedral jig. Trial fit the P32 carbon wing joiner into the respective bays; there should be a tight fit, no play. If there is a significant play, put some epoxy in to appropriate area of the joiner and sand as necessary once the glue hardens.
- Glue the 3 mm Lite Ply P1 root ribs with 3 mm beech alignment pins P30 in place.
- Fine sand the entire wing's outer panels.
