The wing.
STARTING THE WING
AT POST # 29. THE WING INSTRUCTIONS ARE MUCH BETTER...........I LEARNED FROM BUILDING THIS WING.
PLEASE LOOK AT THESE TOO...THEY MIGHT OFFER SOME INSIGHT ALSO.
I couldn't figure out how to build it with those little tabs on the bottom, so I decided to build it upside down.
It kept the spars straight and nice and flat.
Warning.....Don't cut the spars short (as I did). Because of this dumb move I had to splice and reinforce them.
They have to be as long as the leading edge...
I was missing 4 spars so I bought them at my local hobby shop.
Be sure to leave the leading edge stick up above and belowthewing ribs so thatthe wing sheeting will meet with it properly.
