Step 6: Wing Spars

You'll need to glue the 5 in. sticks to the wire pieces. then take the 1 1/2 pieces and punch two holes in the end and slip the ends through as seen in the picture.

I need help! Everytime I try and make holes in the wood, it splits. Any advice?

[ihaveguitarskills!]

try to put masking tape around the area before putting in the hole.

Might not be solid enough, you have to ensure the fibers stick to each other.

Glue the area of the wood you wish to make a hole in. Let dry. Hope this helps.

once you make the wing spars, take the two 1 1/2 in. peices and fit them over the two wires, look at the second picture
