.
Building the Tail Surfaces
24.
Cover the Rudder plan with wax paper. Pin #67 into position on the plan. Now pin and glue #68 and #69 into place. Now
complete the fin by adding the two 3/32" sq. balsa pieces. Remove the fin from the plan.
25.
Cut the rudder laminating pattern from the plan and glue it to a piece of cardboard. Trim the cardboard to the size of the
paper form.
26.
Coat the edges of the form with wax by rubbing the edges with a crayon or candle. Now pin the form to your wax paper
covered building board.
27.
Carefully cut one set of the laser cut laminating strips (#72) from the sheet. Cut one end off so that you have a strip of three
smaller strips that remain attached to each other at one end. Spray this strip with an ammonia based glass cleaner and
allow it to soak for about one minute.
28.
Wipe the laminating strip dry by pulling it through a paper towel several times. Place the attached end next to the form and
pin in place at one end of the form. Nowwrap the laminating strip around the form and pin the opposite end into place. The
laminating strip should be tight against the form between the trim lines.
29.
Now brush a small amount of white glue (thinned 50-50 with water)onto the laminating strip and allow to dry.
30.
Pin #71 to the plan. Pin and glue #72 into position.
31.
When the glue is dry on the laminating strip, cut the laminating strip at the front trim line and position on plan. Mark and trim
excess at opposite end.
32.
Glue the laminated trailing edge into position. Add the remaining 3/32" sq. balsa pieces to the rudder. When the rudder is
dry, remove it from the plan.
33.
Build the two elevators and the stabilizer as you did the fin and rudder.
34.
Sand all of the edges of the fin, rudder, stabilizer and elevators round except the bottom of #67 where it will contact the
fuselage.
Building the Wings
35.
Cover the right wing plan with wax paper. Glue one #76 to one #77 and glue one #78 to one #79.
36.
Pin the front spar (#76 and #77) into position on the plan. The spar will be slightly long at the tip. This is to allow the tip to be
trimmed to length on assembly. Pin the rear spar (#78 and #79) into position on the plan. Pin the trailing edge #80 into
position on the plan.
37.
Glue rib #81 into position on the spars and trailing edge. Use the dihedral gauge #81-A to make sure that the top of this rib
is angled toward the wing tip by the proper angle. Now glue the remaining ribs # 82, #83 and #84 into position 90 degrees
to the building board.
38.
Glue the 1/8" sq. balsa leading edge into position. The outboard end butts against the inboard face of rib #83.
39.
Laminate the wing tip as you did the tail surfaces. Trim on the front trim line and glue to the front of #83 and the leading
edge.
40.
Pull the wingtip back to match the plan, allowing it to pull under the spars slightly. Pin the tip in place against #80. Trim the
spars to the inside of the wing tip. Pull the wing tip up and glue it centered on the spars. Glue the remaining end to #80.
Now trim the excess at the trailing edge.
41.
Glue the leading edge sheet #85 into position. Trim the outboard piece to fit the wing tip before gluing into position. You
may slightly moisten the outside surface of #80 to allow it to bend easier.
42.
When the wing is completely dry, remove it from the plan and sand smooth. Sand the leading edge round and taper the
trailing edge to the shape shown on the plan.
43.
Now repeat the previous steps to build the left wing.
