4. Place glue on the flat edge of the upper winghalves and join them as shown.4.5. Cut off the parts of the lower left and rightwing only as shown by the dotted line onthe template. Cut a toothpick in half andsharpen the cut ends. Dip the ends in glueand stick them in the cut edges to join thelower wing halves, leaving a .6-inch (1.5-centimeter) gap between the halves. (If theStyrofoam is thin, glue the toothpicks to theunderside of the wing instead.)5.6. Use the wing template and a sharp toothpickto mark the holes for the spars on the topsurface of the lower wing (the front edgeshould curve down as shown) and the bottomsurface of the upper wing.6.Learning to Fly: The Wright Brothers’ Adventure EG–2002–12–007–GRC57
7. Dip toothpicks in glue and insert them in thespar holes now marked in the lower wing.Try not to push them all the way throughthe wing. Be sure they are standing up asstraight as possible.7.8. Now, with both the upper and lower wingsupside down (the edges should be curvingup at this point), insert the back row of sparsinto the underside of the top wing. Use themarked holes as a general guide, but keep thespars straight and evenly spaced. Put a littleglue on each to keep them in place as shownin the picture. Now join the front spars to thetop wing, remembering to keep them straightand fasten them with dabs of glue. This takessome effort to get everything in the right placeand is easier to do with two people.8.9. To make each of the two skids join two toothpicksend to end. When the glue is dry, trimthem to a length of 3 inches (7.5 centimeters)and then glue the cutoff end back on at a30-degree angle.9.Learning to Fly: The Wright Brothers’ Adventure58EG–2002–12–007–GRC
