Manual

8. Flip the plane over and build the small fillet
on the bottom side of the aircraft behind the wing.
9. Allow the filler to dry completely. You may
have to let it sit overnight, depending on the
thickness of the filler.
10. Use cylindrical sanding tools to final
shape the fillet. Remove the wing and clean up
the edges of the fillet. Wick some thin CA into the
junction of the plywood wing fillet and the wing
saddle from the inside the fuselage.
INSTALL THE FORWARD WING
FAIRING
1. Install the wing onto the fuselage with
waxed paper under the front portion of the wing
saddle.
2. Check the fit of the die-cut 1/8" plywood
F-3C. Trim the height of F-3C until it is
undersized compared to the chin block height by
1/16". This will leave room for the sheeting.
3. Glue F-3C to the wing with medium CA.
4. Cut the 1/16" sheet balsa for the fairing
using the approximate pattern provided on the
fuselage plan sheet. Test fit and trim the sheet
until it fits well. For best results, you will want to
sand the sheet thinner toward its back half.
5. Glue the sheet in place for the fairing.
Blend the fairing into the chin block with a
sanding block. Use filler to complete the
transition into the wing.
