Wings (cont)
Left wing:
While gluing up the sheeting, I could feel the sheeting wasn't making contact with some ribs around the gear mount. I knew these were a little lower than the other ribs so I left the gap versus forcing the sheeting down and have ripples in the sheeting (and be impossible to sand out). After the carpenter's glue dried, I just turned over the wing and filled in the gaps with epoxy. Some holes were cut into the top sheeting for routing wires and also clamping the two wings together for rib alignment and final gluing.
Right wing planking (sheeting):
The entire top was checked for irregularities and sanded smooth.
Some tick marks were made in line with the TE of the aileron and the flap area. Actually, the flap sheeting is an 1/8" past the triangular TE stock for boxing in that area.
The aileron area was cut first.
Then the flap area.
A 1/4" of slop was used along the LE of the wing sheeting.
Ribs/spars transferred to the bottom of the sheeting for double gluing.
Wait 4 hours for the glue to cook.
