The bottom side of the wing if blended into the fuselage by installing
some small formers to the bottom of the wing along with a center stringer. |
 |
1/16" sheeting is installed over the formers. The tail end of
the wing fillets can be seen at the trailing edge of the wing. |

| Top view of the bird showing the 1/64" plywood wing fillets base. A
layer of wax paper is laid over the wing and the fillets are glued to the fuselage
wing saddle. |
 |
| A series of 1/16" plywood fillet formers are glued to the fillet base
and the fuselage side. I used 1/16" because 1/16" balsa breaks eaily. |

Another view of the right wing fillet prior to installing the 1/32"
balsa top sheet. |
 |
The 1/32" balsa sheet has been glued to the fillet formers and base.
This was done in two pieces to facilitate installation. |

Finished right wing fillet. |
