Lower wings (cont)
outer wings (cont)
Sanded all the surfaces getting smooth transitions from rib caps to LE and TE sheeting. Also, knocked the 90 degree corners off around the TE of the wing in front of the aileron and the LE of the aileron to make it easier to apply the solartex.
The end view of the wing and aileron shows the gap at the tip of the aileron due to the triangular LE. This is needed for clearance when the aileron moves along the hinge axis.
I epoxied the 3/8" thick balsa LE to the wings.
