D 3. Now apply a drop of thin CA to each rib
(except the center ribs) where the sheeting
contacts it Do not cut the sheeting off at the center
or ends yet.
D 6 Before applying the leading edge sheeting in
the next steps, use your sanding block to lightly
sand off the edges of the shear webs and smoothly
blend the ribs to the spar Also, clean up the LE\rib
joints to remove any excess glue
D 7 Make the leading edge sheeting by cutting a
3-1/2" x 3/8" triangle off one end of each of the
four 1/16" x 2-1/4" x 29" balsa top wing LE
sheets (SKY6W21) as shown in the sketch above.
D 8. Trial fit one of the LE sheets in place on the
top of one wing panel Trim or sand the sheet if
necessary to make it fit nicely against the LE. Do
not cut it to the correct length yet.
D 4 Install the trailing edge sheeting on the
opposite wing panel Allow the two pieces to
overlap at the center for now. NOTE: It w i l l be helpful to have the
following items handy for the next steps
. . . thin CA, thick (slow cure) CA, a
straight piece of wood such as an
aileron, and a wet cloth.
D 5 Line up a metal straightedge with the center of
the wing and cut (with a sharp blade) through both
layers of trailing edge sheeting Remove the excess
and glue the two pieces together and to the ribs. D 9 Hold the sheeting tightly against the LE at a
slight angle so it rests down on the ribs at the LE.
Use thin CA to glue the sheeting to the LE only.
Do not glue it to the ribs, spars or center LE yet.
