Section 5: Installing the Wing Dowels
1. Locate the four pre-drilled wing dowel holes, two on either
side of the fuselage. Using a sharp hobby knife, carefully cut the
covering away from each of the holes as shown.
2. Insert one of the wooden dowels into each of the wing dowel
holes, making sure that an equal amount of dowel extends from
each side of the fuselage.
3. Mix a small amount, approximately 1/4 oz., of 6-minute
epoxy. Using an epoxy brush, apply a thin coat of epoxy to the
wing dowels as shown to prevent the dowels from becoming
fuel-soaked during flight. The epoxy will also prevent the dowel
from moving in the holes.
4. If necessary, wipe away the excess epoxy using a paper towel
and rubbing alcohol, being careful not to disturb the alignment
of the wing dowels.
