JOINING WING HALVES continued

13. Smear epoxy on all sides of the exposed area of the
spar joiners and uniformly coat both wing roots with
epoxy.
14. Carefully slide the two wing halves together ensuring
that they are accurately aligned. Firmly press the two
halves together,allowing the excess epoxy to run out.
Using rubbing alcohol and a paper towel,clean off the
excess epoxy. There should not be any gap between
the wing halves.
15. Apply masking tape to hold the wing together
securely while the epoxy cures. Place the wing on a
large,flat surface. With one wing panel lying flat on
the surface,the opposite wing tip should be propped
up exactly 3/8
"
(for .40 size) or 1/2
"
(for .60 size)
from the surface. Allow the wing joint to dry
overnight.
➤ Note: It is a good idea to place a sheet of waxed
paper under the center joint of the wing so that any
excess epoxy will not adhere to the surface of the
work area.
16. When the wing center joint is completely dry,remove
the masking tape and apply the included trim tape to
cover the center joint. Be really careful to match the
stripes on the wing center tape to the stripes on top
of the wing.
