With the basic wing laid out I am able to start actual assembly. Before doing so I photocopied each of the different ribs so I could make more as needed for the Red Liner build. That one will need a lot of the B5 ribs and will also get the ailerons and the rest of the trailing edge from the RS kit.
For this wing I'm using all original RS ribs along with a few other pieces. The ailerons, trailing edge, spars, and spar webbing are all cut from sheet and stock I had on-hand. The leading edge will be 3mm thick wall carbon fiber tube.
Graph paper was covered with wax paper and a piece of stiff balsa was pinned down to let me line up all the ribs for a straight leading edge. All the ribs were lined up with the graph paper to keep everything straight. Once that was done, a little CA glue was added to hold the pieces in place.
Next step was to add webbing between the ribs and spars which was done with scrap 1/8" balsa sheet. The cap was glued in on top with all the webbing and cap held on with TiteBond II glue. The aileron and TE for the inner wing section were cut from 1/8" balsa sheet.
Once the CF LE is glued in place and everything has time to dry I think the final wing will be nice and strong. The overall wing length will end up around 42", a little less than the stock RS wing.
