Test fit the Flap in its position on the Wing. If the hole in the Flap
Pivot Rib and the Flap Support Arm do not line up, sand the
underside of the trailing edge stock to allow more room for the
Flap to enter. (See Figure 13)
Sand and profile the Flap Support Arms to match the profile
shown on Plan Sheet 2.
Locate the 8 Sheeting Supports. (See Plan Sheet 2.) Glue them
onto the sides of each Flap Support Arm. (See Figure 13)

Sheeting the Wing
The sheeting of the Wing is done using common methods. There
are, however, some details that need addressing. Refer to Plan
sheet 2 for details.
To begin, cut a strip of
1
/ 16" sheeting wide enough to cover the top
of the Rear Spar and to butt up against the Slot Lip TE stock. This
goes the full length of each side of the Wing. Let the sheeting
hang over to give support for the Lower Aileron Sheeting (A).
For the Lower Aileron section, cut and glue on a strip of sheeting
(B). Shave the edge of this sheeting to best fit the profile (C).
Before sheeting the Lower Wing (Flap section), we will make
some supports; cut strips of
1
/ 16" balsa (the height about
1
/ 2 " - see
Plan Sheet 2) to snugly fit between the rear of each Rib. (D) Use
thin CA to glue in place.
To sheet the Lower Wing (Flap section), measure and cut
1
/ 16" balsa
to fit around the Flap Supports. See Plan Sheet 2 for sheeting
width. Glue on with thin CA. (See E.)
A small insert is needed for support. Cut a long, thin section of
sheeting. (See Figure 15 on next page.) Glue in with thin CA.

The remainder of the Wing is sheeted in the traditional fashion:
D-tube and cap strips with
1
/ 16" balsa, according to Plan Sheet 2.
