Step 11. Once you’re satisfied with the alignment, press down
slightly but firmly on the rear section of the wing. The protruding
wing bolts will make an indentation in the top wing covering. By
comparing the wing top and wing bottom you can see the slight
angle required when drilling the holes in the wing for the wing
hold-down bolts.
Step 12. Using a 1/4′′ drill bit, drill the exact center of the wing
indentations on the top of the wing, through the wing and wing
bolt plates. Use special care to note the angle of the bolts and
transfer that angle into the holes being drilled.
Step 13. Trial fit the wing into position on the fuselage. Thread
the wing hold-down bolts into the wing and loosely tighten.
Check the alignment of the wing by measuring the alignment as
you did in Step 10. It may be necessary to slightly enlarge the
holes with a small round file to obtain proper alignment.
