Starting
the
wing assembly. Note the shim inder the lower spar which is .145
inches thick. A couple of these will insure that the lower spar
is flush
with
the lower surface
of
the ribs. The end of the lower spar is flush with the inside of
rib 3, the root end is blocked in place with the spar alignment jig.
The spar alignment jig with both spars
in place. The Rib 1's are not installed until after
the wings are joined.
Ribs assembled to spars, tack glued with
small amounts of CA. The tip spar is also installed at this time.
I find a twisted
length of wire is a good way to apply the glue, a small amount of which is
held on the bottom of a plastic medicine cup.
