10. Glue the skids on either side of the opening inthe lower wing so that the tips point upward.They should project out from the downwardcurving front surface.10.11. Cut a piece to brace across the skids and glueit at the 30-degree joint. Make two braces togo from the upper wing to the elevator byjoining two toothpicks end to end and sideby side to form a longer toothpick, and thenmark them to the correct length by holdingthem between the upper wing and the skid,as shown. Allow enough to stick into theupper wing, cut off the excess, and thensharpen the cut end. (If the Styrofoam isthin, do not sharpen the cut end.)11.12. Push the ends of the uprights through thecenter of the elevator at an angle back towardthe wing. Put glue on the top end of the upperbraces and push them into the edge of theupper wing. (If the Styrofoam is thin, gluethe ends of the uprights underneath the frontedge of the upper wing.)12.Learning to Fly: The Wright Brothers’ Adventure EG–2002–12–007–GRC59
13. Now glue the lower end of the brace thatsticks through the elevator to the upturnedpart of the skid in a way that makes theelevator level. Add a crossbar across theskids at the joint where the skids turn upat the 30-degree angle.13.14. Cut two small pieces of toothpick longenough to go from the 30-degree joint tothe rear of the underside of the elevator, andglue them in place. You may need to usetweezers or long-nosed pliers.14.15. To attach the rudder, cut four toothpicks into2-inch (5.5-centimeter) lengths, and stick thesharp ends into the long edge of the rudder,two on the top and two on the bottom sothey form a “V” shape, as shown. The distancebetween the two legs of the V should be 3/4inch (1.8 centimeters). Turn the glider overand glue the top two braces to the undersideof the upper wing.15.Learning to Fly: The Wright Brothers’ Adventure60EG–2002–12–007–GRC
