 Then fit the fuel hoses internally to the wing. The left wing has two fuel lines; one for the
drain or supply line and the other for the bypass or return line back from the engine. The
right wing has only one fuel line. The tubes should be around 300 mm long.
 Heat the tube and slide it onto the fuel pipe outlets securing them with three cable ties
pulled tightly.
 Cut the strobe wires off with about 100 mm protruding from the end of the wing
 Put together the end plates using the fittings and the foam spacer. Hold the spacer in
position with hot glue to make positioning easier later in the assembly. Attach the fuel
lines, strobes etc and finally fix it to the aircraft with 5 mm screws.
 On the right wing there is only one fuel line and perhaps the strobe, but it also has the
pitot and static pressure lines as well. Pull the lines out of the wing opening and cut them
off at about 80 mm. If you leave them too long they will wear or interfere with the
airbrake controls.
 You will receive the flaps a little longer than they need to be and sometimes it is
necessary to Dremel a little off the wing end as shown in the photograph. To get the
correct position it is necessary to have the pin and the mounting pin secure and hard up
at the wing root like in the photos. The other end will require the wing being cut to have
a clearance of 3 mm.
