Step 5. Mix up approximately 1 ounce of 30-minute epoxy.
Note: It is extremely important to use plenty of epoxy when
joining the wing halves.
Step 6. Using a scrap piece of wood or an epoxy brush, smear a
generous amount of epoxy into the wing dihedral brace cavity in
one wing panel.
Step 7. Coat one half of the dihedral brace with epoxy up to the
pencil line drawn in Step 1. Note the orientation of the wing
brace — the “V” points to the top of the wing, or faces up. Install
the epoxy-coated side of the dihedral brace into the wing joint
cavity of the wing half, up to the center line, making sure the “V”
side of the dihedral brace is orientated correctly.

Step 8. Apply a generous amount of epoxy into the wing brace
cavity of the other wing panel.
Note: You will need to mix up additional epoxy to complete
the joining process.
Step 9. Now apply epoxy to all sides of the exposed area of the
dihedral brace and uniformly coat both wing roots with epoxy.
