the leading edge of the wing and the longer length portion of each wing strut should be toward the trailing edge of the wing.
T Cut away the covering material from inside the outline you drew, then glue
the wing-screw doubler onto the wing using thick C/A.
STEP 2: MOUNTING THE WING
T Apply a couple of drops of thin C/A into each of the two threaded wing-screw
mounting holes in the fuselage. Allow the C/A to fully cure before proceeding.
IMPORTANT The C/A will soak into the plywood, strengthening the threads. Do not omit this procedure. Allow the C/A to fully cure
before proceeding.
T Place the wing into the wing saddle, push it forward completely, then push
the trailing edge down into place.
T Align the holes in the wing with the threaded holes in the wing mounting
block inside the fuselage.
T Secure the wing into place, using two wing mounting screws.

Don't overtighten the screws. You don't want to crush the wing or break
the screws off.
