19. The angle already cut into the ends of the foam wing halves sets an approximate correct dihedral angle. To check it, set up
the wing halves as shown. If necessary, sand the root ends of the wing panels to make the center joint fit correctly together.
20. Using a soft lead pencil, mark center lines on the leading and trailing
edges of each wing panel. When joining the two wing panels together,
line up these marks to properly align the two wing panels. Glue the
wing panels together with Sig Epoxy Glue or Kwik
-Set Glue. Use
plenty of glue where the balsa sheeting meets so that the joint
between the two halves is completely filled.
21. Locate the two pieces of 5/16"x1-
1/2"x6"
aileron stock that have been grooved to
accept the aileron torque rods. Cut a
1/8" notch in each of them, 1/4" from the
end as shown in the photo. Be certain
you make a left and a right, and keep in
mind that the aileron torque rods must
exit the bottom of the grooved aileron
stock.
22. Glue the torque rods in place in the grooved aileron stock. Glue the brass bearings only! Be very careful not to get any glue
inside the brass bearings or on the wire. Notice that the outer end of the brass bearing should be even with the outer end of
the grooved aileron stock.
23. Glue the torque rod/grooved aileron stock assemblies in place on the trailing edge
of the wing. Use a ruler to line them up with the bottom surface of the wing. Again,
be very careful not to get any glue in the bearings or on the wires. Notch out the
back side of the wing trailing edge slightly to allow forward movement of the
aileron torque rods.
NOTE: The aileron torque rods have been pre-bent so that the threaded portions
leans rearward slightly inside the fuselage (see the wing crosssection on the
plans). That small angle will provide a bit of differential movement (more up than
down) in the ailerons, which makes for smoother turn and roll characteristics.
24. Reinforce the wing center joint, top and
bottom, with 2" glass cloth tape and
epoxy glue. DO NOT OMIT THIS STEP!
We have found it easiest to first smear a
thin coat of epoxy glue on the wing. Next
lay the tape over the glue. Then holding
one end of the tape so it won't slip,
squeegee the glue through the tape with
a small paddle of scrap balsa. Scrape
over the tape several times to smooth it
out and remove all excess glue.
