Make sure you glue the double bevel, score cuts, spar, and trailing edge completely. Construct it the same way Flite Test does their blunt nose Versa Wing. The entire center section is bent and folded like the airfoil model above. The spar is glued onto the center section at the reference rectangle on the plans - this means that when the center section is folded, the spar will sit right in front of the last airfoil bend. Everything fit into the front hatch except for the ESC, which is mounted on the exterior. Flite Test's Versa Wing incorporates this feature, and I copied them just in case I would need them - I didn't. The last piece of tape completes the job. Before I put on the last piece of tape, I had 6 stripes on either side of a white un-taped strip. If you look at my picture, you'll see that I have 5 stripes on either side of a thick black one. The last piece of tape you put on should be over the double bevel line, which is the leading edge. Start taping on either end and work your way towards the middle - this means the air will flow with the tape and not pull against it. When taping both this part and the wing halves, start with the foam cut out but not assembled yet. I will assume you will have some knowledge of this already, but if you don't, watch their videos - they explain everything better than I could ever dream of. I didn't photograph the process fully, but the building techniques are those perfected by Flite Test. Using the plans I have created, outline the center section and spar on your foam board. *I also used old black servos I already had, but the 9 gram ones I used before should suffice. Perhaps you can find some at a hardware store. 032" music wire I ordered from Jet.com a long time ago with a free shipping offer.I don't think they even sell them anymore. Both are 7x5, but I decided to actually use an 8x4 prop I already had. *Note that two different kind of props are shown in the picture. "New Purchases" refers to items I bought specifically for this plane, while "Old Purchases" are from my other RC plane Instructable. This is a list of everything I bought from Hobbyking and used for this plane.
