General Wing Assembly:


14. One at a time, properly center the remaining shear webs and glue each to the spars and ribs. (I skip every-other-one so I can still work relatively quickly without worry that the CA will wick through from one shear web – through the rib – and accidentally glue the neighboring shear web before I have it positioned properly.) If you prefer, you can tip the jig on its side to better check the orientation of the shear webs, to ensure they truly are centered perfectly. I like to tip it so it just barely hangs over the edge of my workbench so I can look down at the front section of the wing. Just take care to ensure that the fragile trailing edges of the ribs are not damaged.



15. Glue in the 1/8 x 1/4" spruce Spar B to the top, rear section of each rib.
