 Now lift the wing up and align the wing spar with the fuselage. Slide the wing spar into
the rectangular hole and be careful not to damage the fuselage while doing so. Once the
wing root gets close to the fuselage, line up the wings support pegs with the
corresponding holes. If the wings support pegs do not fit nicely into their corresponding
holes then you may need to open them up a little using a dremel (see photo below). Be
sure not to open them up too much. Also check the wing spar hole in the fuselage. If
needed, you can grind it down a bit to make for a better fit.
 Slide the wing forward until it rests nicely against the fuselage and then rest the end on a
work stand
 Do the same with the other wing and ensure that left wing spar is placed in front of the
right wing spar, thus closer to the engine. When both wings are mounted and resting on
stands you can fix in place with the two pins provided. You may need someone to slightly
nudge the wings up or down in order for the pin to slide through both holes.
 After the wings have been mounted it is necessary to examine the fit. This is done by
checking the gap between the wing root and the fuselage. The gap should be somewhere
between 2 and 3 mm all the way around the wing. It is very unlikely that you will
achieve this gap after mounting the wings for the first time.
