17. Cut two 4-inch (10-centimeter) pieces of balsafor section D and sharpen one end of each.Glue one end under the leading edge of theupper wing between the center and next-tocenterspar, and then glue the other end tothe bottom skid. Repeat on the other sideof the skid.17.18. Six .8-inch (2-centimeter) rudder braces areneeded. Cut them from three toothpicks asshown and sharpen the cut ends.18.19. Dip the braces in glue, insert them into therudder as shown here, and then turn theassembly over and insert the braces into theother rudder. Add more glue for support. Toattach the rudder to the flyer, make two setsof V-shaped braces by gluing together twotoothpicks as shown. The distance betweenthe two legs of the V should be 1.5 inches(3.8 centimeters).19.Learning to Fly: The Wright Brothers’ Adventure70EG–2002–12–007–GRC
