Time for the rear wing, use the larger of the two wing endplate templates ( the one shown here). Use the template to trace the shape onto some .015 plastic (make 2 endplates).  To line up the parts of thew wing I will first locate where the main wing will be on the endplate TEMPLATE and trace as shown.  Next cut out from the template a new templateto transfer the wing location to the plastic wing endplates.  Use a ruler to locate the centerline of the rear wing (bottom of wing) and locate your wing wounting points.  Decide where you want the wing brackets to go and mask off the location (top surface , trailing edge). I first score this with a razor saw and then go back over it with a panel line scriber.   Glue the wing to the endplate, use a square to keep it at a right angle to the endplate.  Glue the other endplate into position and glue the small airfoil onto the rear of the wing assembly.  |

Will install the brackets connecting the upper and lower wings in a later posting. A side note , if the main part of the rear wing is warped , you can heat it under hot water from the fawcet and press it over a curved surface until it cools ( I used a rolling pin).
