Wing centre section

Lay the wing building plan on the building board and put a sheet of a thin clear plastic film to protect the building plan. Pin the right leading edge (1) and the trailing edge (2) down to the plan – the flat side down. Cut the outer ribs (3) from the No. 2 bevelled balsa stick; glue it to the leading and trailing edge so the slanted side pointed outward and up (it creates the wing outer panels dihedral - refer to the A-A detail). Cut from the no. 4 balsa stick to size and glue the central rib (4) in place. Now cut to size the wing ribs (5) from the no. 6 balsa stick and glue them into the notches in the leading and trailing edges. Once the glue has cured, remove the wing centre section from the building board and apply thin adhesive dope to the entire surface. Once the dope has cured, sand it carefully (first using the coarse sandpaper and later the fine one) to the shape of the airfoil – refer to the fuselage side view on the building plan. Build the left wing centre section in the same way.
