Below pics are for joining the left and right wing I will need them later

Wing post for wings LE & TE
To attach the wing to the LE and TE of the wing posts And the left wing to right wing(as the wings are detachable) .I used ear buds.

EAR BUD
I Cut the ear buds 6mm x 2pcs(for posts) which will attach the full wing to the post

EAR BUD
And i cut  1cm x 2pcs Ear bud (which will be used later for joining the left and ringht wings ,as they are detachable) POST #13

BALSA
Then cut balsa sticks 2mm x2mm and  10cm long ,2pieces for LE & TE  these are the posts(pics attached)

BALSA
Also cut 2mm x 2mm and  2cm long balsa stick for attaching the left and right wing later.(you can skip this if you plan to make a 1piece full wing mine is Detachable left and right wing)

I Then took the 10cm balsa stick and sliced it with a sharp blade one side just enough to fit the 6mm Ear bud(pic attached).this fit should not be to tight no to loose.these are the wing posts te and le.

The other 2cm balsa stick do the same till it fits the 1cm ear buds  well. So 1cm of the stick should fit in the ear bud(this will be used later to join wings)pic in POST #13

Below pics are of the wing post for the wings LE and TE

Ribs are ready.
Now I need a break...chaiiiii

Moving to the ribs for the wing and the elevator,took a sheet of 1mm balsa and sliced 1.5mm long strips of it(1mmx1.5mm).then cut them to 7inch long.(apologise cant take video and build together,hope pics help)
So these pieces  will be used for the wing and elevator.cut a few extra as some may break in the process.
we need under cambered  wings so we need curved ribs of  2cm(drawing in pic below)  ,to get a curve on these ribs soak the 7inch pieces well under running water .arrange them well & tie them with thread and stick to a vessel with cello tape nice and firm and tight.(pics may help understand)
Then filled water in the vessel and  made the water hot.now and then keep pressing the ribs to take shape.once the water boils put of the gas and leave it to cool and wait till the ribs Dry well.
Instead of vessel you can use your own imagination and try something else .i prefer it this way.Then remove the ribs once dried.
Note:don't have to be accurate on the ribs as long as they are curved all we need is good curve ribs so 2cm or less is ok.

Ohhh about gluing.took a used tablet cover pour some drops of superglue(fevikwik) into it and used a pin to carry glue to the balsa joints.be as lite as possible we need a good AUW.u can use any method u like  key is to use less glue as possible.

Anyone has questions so far about the fuse.please ask now while its fresh in my mind.
