Step 1
Test the fit of the wing joiner into the outer wing
panel and the center panel. The forked end is
inserted into the center panel. The joiner should
slide into each with little resistance. Lightly sand
the joiner as necessary to achieve a proper fit.
Note: The joiner will be angled
towards the top of the wing.
Step 2
Without using any glue, test fit the wing panel and center
panel together using the wing joiner. The panels must
fit together without any gaps top or bottom. If any gaps
do exist, use a sanding bar to lightly sand the root ribs
of both panels until the panels fit together perfectly.
Step 3
Tuck the servo lead back into the tip panel. Place
the weight inside the outer panel, but do not tape
it in, as it will eventually drop through the center
panel and out the opening for the retract servo.
Note: Read through the remaining steps
of this section before mixing any epoxy.
