And we finally move forward.

1. Here is the landing gear block, finally, with the mess-ups. They won't show after the landing gear go on.

2. I test fit the landing gear, it is very tight.

I let that cure for a few hours, and when I removed the clamps and set the wing back down on the board, I noticed that the wing was twisted. There was almost a 1/4" gap under the left side, so I pinned the corners down.

This afternoon, I pulled the pins out to see if there was a difference, the left side lifted but no where as bad as before. I pinned it back down and here is glueing the TE sheeting. I used wood glue so any edges are easier to sand. I first set the piece on TE and pinned the rib to give the sheeting something to lay against, then put my straight edge/yard stick against them to pin a center rib.

3. and 4. Here is the glue-down of the sheeting.

5. and 6. Next step is to cut a 3/8" deep groove in the root rib for the dihedral block.

7. Then I had to sand an angle on the LE of the LE sheeting (not in the manual but for better glue joint) and press down on the landing gear block to imprint it for cutting. here is the final result.

When I did the glue up on the LE sheeting, something told me to check the incedence. it was 1/4 degree low on the tip. I removed the pins from the spar side of the LE sheeting and wedged a piece of balsa under the TE at the tip rib, and re-pinned.

8. 9. and 10. Here is the wing with the sheeting done.


If this didn't fix it I might have to overflex the LE sheeting on the opposite side of the wing.
