Sheeting the Top of the Wing:

4. Draw a centerline down the middle of Spar B and add a bead of thick CA on the half towards the trailing edge. Align the front edge of the top trailing edge sheeting and gently hold it in place until the CA sets. Do not press down on the top, or a warp in the trailing edge could be induced. Simply pinch the sheeting and the spar together and hold momentarily. If a denser balsa sheet is used, clothespins could be utilized without damaging the sheeting; otherwise scrap wood sheet or stick material could be used to protect softer balsa sheet material from being dented by the clothespins, if desired.
